Friend of mine bought a used bike and is trying to figure out exactly what he has. The problem he's having is trying to figure out what the P in BJLP stands for ? Thanks for any help.

 

P can be displacement which would be 1200cc xl or it could be model year which would be 1993.
Hope that helps you out.

 

Thanks P would work for the year.

 

BJ=Softail (FLST) or Softail Classic (Heritage Softtall, FLSTC)
L=1340 Evo engine
P=1993 model year

 

This site did a good job of decoding the VIN for my 2012 Street Bob:

said it was either a 2012 or 2013

It said My 2002 Sportster was a Harley, but thats it. Might help.
