Obsolete Part Number Needed
I'm trying to get collector status for a 1993 Electra Glide FLHS and I need to be able to document the fact that Harley Davidson did in fact offer a batwing fairing to go on the bike. I've found a part number that no longer shows up on any of Harleys books. That number is 58374-93. Would any of the Harley experts on here be able to verify that for me and possibly be able to link me to somewhere that would prove that that part number is actually a batwing fairing for the FLHS. The insurance corporation in British Columbia is really **** about stuff like this.

Wow. Great response. Thanks guys. Not a Sock, these are actual Harley parts in the photo you supplied. Correct? I've been trying to save the photos but can't figure out how. I'm not really too computer savvy. Would it be possible to email those pics to me at david_parenteau@telus.net I'm sure that the information will suffice for my insurance carrier. Thanks again everyone.

You know, I talked to Harley Davidson in Milwaukee and they weren't able to help me at all except to say that with what information they had available they thought that Harley never offered a fairing for the FLHS. These are actual Harley numbers are they? My collector status is getting closer and closer all the time. You guys all rock!

I'll take better pictures of them and email 'em to you.

[QUOTE=Keithhu;18162353]Just curious, collector status according to who?[/QUOTE
In British Columbia, a motorcycle can be granted collector status and qualify for greatly reduced liability insurance if it meets certain criteria that they set forth. Given the fact that I pay $1500 for 8 months insurance for my Heritage the fact that I could insure the FLHS with the same coverage for just over $600 for a full year makes the luxury of owning a second bike a feasible option for me. The bike must be at least 25 years old or 15 years old and no longer in production with no more than 1500 units built. It must be stock and in pristine condition. Certain safety upgrades are allowed such as radial tires and accessories such as era specific saddlebags and even trailer hitches are allowed. Original specification exhaust are also allowed but what's approved and what isn't is still a really grey area. The original exhaust is available on the bike I'm leaning towards purchasing. My concern was that although the two bikes I'm considering have received collector status they both have fairings. The FLHS was initially sold as an unfaired version but the fairing was available as an accessory. Our provincial insurance corporation ( ICBC ) in numerous conversations has told me that they require some sort of documentation to prove that a fairing was available from Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson in Milwaukee has been unable to help me but the fellows on here and a real sharp partsman at a Vancouver dealership look like they've found the documentation I need.The two bikes I've seen don't have this documentation and I'm not even sure how they got collector status but given the fact that a collector plate becomes non valid on the sale of a bike and a new application has to go in to ICBC by the new purchaser I want and need this documentation. I can document everything else as stock. I can't afford to insure two bikes at close to $3500 a year on my pension so I have to be able to get collector status on the bike if I want to buy it. That in a nutshell explains collector status in British Columbia. It gets even more involved but I just can't type anymore.
