WLA models did not have frame numbers. There are only casting numbers.

Get yourself Bruce Palmer's "How to Restore your Harley", second edition. It fully explains the locations for all of the foundry markings and what they mean as far as dates, foundry etc. The frame itself has no serial number, all you have is the VIN on the engine. Though the engine casings and transmission case also have date codes. Good luck. Post pics for more info.
