Rechecking my books, I still can't find reference to "Limited Edition" 1979. There is statement "1979 FXE Super Glide, first year twin front disc brakes". Under 1980 model year, FXWG new model. Special Black paint with orange flames on tank. Blacked out engine with polished fins, extended front forks, wider triple clamps to space the forks wider, smaller front fender, 21" wheel, dual gas tanks and center console with large speedo (like the FLH model)), bobbed rear fender, stepped seat, forward controls, stash pouch, padded sissy bar, kickstarter, spoke wheels, tiny headlight. Does any of this fit?
VIN number will pinpoint exactly what year model it is (last 5 digits are not needed).

Do you suppose that may be a limited edition paint job? That looks like a pretty standard looking FXD to me. I had an 81 FXE and it didn't have the 2-piece tank or the center console/gauges. It is not a wide glide.
