Default Looking for info

Hello first time post here, any forum for that matter. But I have a bike that was given to me that I believe is a 65’ Harley Davidson Tele-Glide Pacer 175cc. I’m just looking for any more info knowledge of how to find out more about this bike. Also the Vin letters are BT and I’ve had a hard time figuring out things. Thanks in advance.

Welcome, and you're correct that appears to be a '65 BT Pacer. You should check out The Harley Hummer Club for history, documentation and restoration info.

I followed the link to The Harley Hummer Club and have been enjoying the stories on the Member's Page. Those are fantastic reads of the 50s and 60s. Wonderful stories!
