I've two questions, neither of which I've been able to get a clear answer on to date.
First, the remaining original paint on the frame and rear fender of my 23 project is Olive Green, which I am advised was an option for those customers who didn't want the new Brewster Green standard colour for 1922 and 1923. But what were the lining colours for a factory paint Olive Green 23J? Do I assume that the lining was the same as for 1924 when the factory reverted to Olive Green? (There looks like the remains of a red or maroon stripe on my 23 fender.)
Second, I have been advised and have read (perhaps on the John Pierce Colorwrite site), that the sidecar frames for late teens J model Harley-Davidsons were Brewster Green (or perhaps another dark green - Pullman Green?), even though the bikes and the sidecar bodies themselves were Olive. Can anyone verify this and, if so, did that apply in 1921?
Thanks for all the help provided to date. In the next month or so I'll post some pics of progress on my 21F restoration.
