New news on 2003 Model Year Harley's

John,

The '02 white pearl Fatboy (FLSTFI) that I passed on is at East Coast Harley in Dumfries, VA
(703)221-3757.

It just came in last Friday and may not even be on the showroom floor yet.

Also, ECHD sells at msrp.

Good luck.

2003 "Trim"

Here's what I KNOW:

All 2003 MY (model year) motorcycles will be 100th identified, but none will be numbered as limited edition models.

The Two Tone (Sterling Silver & Vivid Black) anniversary bikes will have the highest anniversary content.

Here's my GUESSES:

The Two-Tone will have tank badges, fender badges and special pinstripes.
The Gunmetal Pearl or Black will have tank badges.
The Red, Blue or Black will just have decals.

I hope this helps!

2003 Colors

The Motor Company sent all Dealers a letter listing the colors for the 2003 models. You can check with your dealer to confirm this. I saw our dealers letter.

Colors are as follows:

Vivid Black & Sterling Silver Two-Tone
Gunmetal Pearl
Vivid Black

Luxury Rich Red
Luxury Blue
Pearl White

The Red, Blue or White bikes will not be available until the 2nd phase(October)

The only exceptions are:
888R will be Orange & Black
V-rod will be available in Black & Silver or Aluminum
CVO bikes will have custom paint jobs.

As far as all bikes being accessorized like the current CVO bikes, I'm guessing but seems like that would be a little tough on production???

Check out my response from back in April. It was written right off the fax.

Here is a copy.

Subject: Colors for 100th Anniversary Motorcycles

Dear Dealer:

In advance of next week's Town Hall meetings, we'd like to provide you with information on the colors for the 100th Anniversary 2003 Model Year motorcycles. We hope this information will be helpful in working with your customers as they make motorcycle purchase decisions.

To commemorate "100 Years of Great Motorcycles," we are excited to offer 100th Anniversary identification on all 2003 models. The colors that make up the 100th Anniversary product line are:

Sterling Silver & Vivid Black - New two-tone color combination for the 100th Anniversary.
Gunmetal Pearl - New color for the 100th Anniversary.
Vivid Black
After Phase I, we will offer motorcycles with three solid carryover colors that will not have the same 100th Anniversary content as above. These colors are:

Luxury Blue Pearl
Luxury Rich Red Pearl
White Pearl
The SportsterÒ 883R will continue to be offered in the current Orange & Black paint scheme. The VRSCA V-RodÔ , in its second year, will be offered in the new Sterling Silver & Vivid Black color treatment and in Anodized Aluminum.


Attached is a 2003 Model Year color grid that demonstrates which colors will be offered for each model. Color charts will be provided to you in late May.

Just got word from local dealer that the colors and all badging will be released at the Dealer show in middle of June....

Sounds like this so far:

Release schedule one of the bikes will consist of the "Black and Silver" with heavy badging, "Black" and "Gun Metal Pearl" (still waiting to see what this color is) with some badging...

Release schedule two will in-clude "White Pearl", "Lux Red" and "Lux Blue"

Still can't find a '02 "Jade Glow" around the area, but am eyeballing a possible '02 White Pearl....

Thanks to everyone who has been such a help with this Thread!
