Default Question about my VIN / bike type

I've noticed in my model year, there are three variations.

Vin 1HD1CAP15SY******

Here's what I know:

1 = Domestic
HD = Harley Davidson
1 = Weight Class, Heavyweight
CAP = XLH 1200
1 = Regular Introduction Date
5 = Vin Check Digit
s = 1995 model year
Y = York, Penn assembly plant

So my question is, which one of these three is it?
1995 SPORTSTER XLH 1200 (CA)
1995 SPORTSTER XLH 1200 CUSTOM (CG)
1995 SPORTSTER XLH 1200 SPORT (CH)

Thanks.

I'm not sure how your response answers my question.

Don't give info.

Ask a real informed question.

The answer to your question is in your original post. CA designates an XLH1200. See below link I found explaining. CA is the model type (xlh1200) and P designates a 1200 engine.
