Silverado differences?

[cmhbob]

What are the major differences between a Silverado and the base trim? My 99 Roadstar doesn't have any trim badges, and the VIN decodes to "Trim Level - AL." The windshield I got with it, which I'm pretty sure is OEM, doesn't have the big decorative piece below the main chrome strip., which makes me pretty sure it's a base trim.

IOW, if it fits the Silverado, will it fit the base trim? I assume so, but as I'm just getting started on playing with this bike, I thought I'd check.

Base trim = no windshield, no bags, no backrest for passenger, no studs. Silverado = windshield, studded seats bags and backrest.

More than likely your windshield is after market if missing the big chrome.

This is what I was looking for.

There's a windshield and it attaches to holes in the fork/tree. The seat is a Mustang 2-piece, so I don't know what was on the original. But the bags are studded, or used to be, and there's a passenger backrest. I'll go ahead and guess it's a Silverado. I'll get some pics up later.

I may be misremembering- but I thought the earlier Silverados had the Silverado logo on the gauge?

I’m thinking that was the Silver Edition (which also has silver paint), not the Silverado.

What color is your bike?

Interesting. It's the red/ivory two-tone.

That is the Standard model. It isn't that unusual to see, most of us that had standard models upgraded by adding Silverado accessories.

This was my standard 07 through the years.

Yeah. Looks like the Midnights do too. But not the Silverado.
