53963-098HY - Vivid Black w/Med silver/Med Silver pinstrips
53963-120BX - Vivid Black w/Med Silver pinstrips
Both are King Tour-Paks the pinstrips are inner and outer
I thought I remembered seeing that somewhere.......~$100 extra if I remember correctly???
Certainly worth paying the $$$ for the OEM HD pinstripes. Ordered my King Tour-Pak last December with Denim Black paint, they told me it was 12 weeks out, I went back a few weeks later when I realized I had not ordered the pinstripes, and then they told me it the Tour-Pak was in. It took me 8 months to find the time & someone to do the pinstripes. They turned out 'fairly' good, don't 'quite' look OEM, but I guess good enough. I rarely use the Tour-Pak and when I do, they look fine.
Wish I coulda/woulda ordered the factory stripe. And it is funny, you have to order the locking kit & like Spazz said, it doesn’t come with the screws- weird.

the pin stripes are done at the factory using a template that is drawn around using a paint stick.
really quick to do.
if you have them done the traditional way by hand they will rarely be perfect but they will be expensive.

I don't know about the Vivid, but on the denim, the pinstripes come from the factory beneath the clear coat- which makes them slightly flat in color, and very hard to match. I tried to return mine to the factory for the pinstriping and the dealer suggested that I find a painter as the factory would want to strip off the clear (satin) coat, apply pinstripe then re- coat. You can just imagine the $$$ that would cost. It would be interesting to learn what your dealer has to say. Love having the Tour=Pak readily available though.
