1978 shovelhead
For TCSTD.... Terryt1955 said that maybe you could help me figure out what model my bike is. Here is the vin# 2A16619H3, and here is the engine # 9D71254H8. Please see what you can figure out. Thank You

RE: 1978 shovelhead
And for those too short of time: 
VIN = 1973 FLH 1200 (dresser model)
Engine = 1978 FXE 1200 (Superglide model)
If the bike is titled/registered as a 1978, you might have a problem. The bike should be titled by the frame number, and that is a 1973. Some places the cops might take a dislike to you, and that means the bike gets hauled away as a possible hot one. When I built a Sporty up with a different frame number than the engine, I always carried the bill of sale on the engine. Had to show it more than a couple times to keep the bike in my grubby paws instead of rotting in an impound yard.
