I have just purchased a 2013 Road King from the States. The chap in New Zealand that I brought it off said it was a Shriner edition. How can I find out for sure?

 

I have a 2002 Ultra Classic, on my registration the model listed is FLHTCUI SHRINE. when I google my VIN it comes up on a site called vin car history http://vincarhistory.com/ and is listed there as the same.

 

Cool. Thanks for that. I will give it a go

Nah I cant do that because it has been re-vinned here in N.Z

 

it's stamped on the bike at the factory, they removed it in NZ?

 

Good point! I will check it out on the bike tomorrow. I was just going off the new rego papers I have for it

 

Harley Davidson Special Edition Motorcycles

 

you mean he can't access it from NZ, or the VIN won't show up?

 

I read it wrong. I thought the bike was from NZ sent to the US. If that was the case, it wouldn't have worked.

that's how the vin on my my 98 shriner FLHTC starts out and the 5th and 6th #'s designates it to be a shriner bike (DG)

 

If you can easily ride the bike in tight circles while slowly moving down the street while wearing a tapered hat with a tassel, it's probably a Shriner addition.

As others have already stated, the VIN assigned to the bike by the factory should tell. Also, don't those bikes come in a color only available on that bike that year? Can you find out what color the Shriner RK's were for that year? The other 2013 RK bikes wouldn't be that color.
