Default Harley Frame?

This may be a long shot. I'm trying to figure out if this a Harley frame before I go look at it. These are the pictures the guy sent me . I don't think it's Harley but I'm no expert.Thanks in advance

Looks aftermarket to me, but there’s not a lot to go on in those pictures.

Looks aftermarket to me....can't read the first letters in the VIN...if the first 3 are not 1HD it is not Harley.

That neck area doesn't look like the typical Harley casting for that area.

Ask the guy to send you the vin or a clear picture and with that information head over to Mother Ships web page and run the VIN there.
