It's hotter than a 16 yr old hooker I can tell you that much , post 1970 definately but somebody did a job on the numbers boss on the right neck side of that frame . I have a bare 68 - 69 frame sitting in the garage right now and there big differences .

That frame looks real close to what I've owned in the past-1977 Super Glide,1983 Wide Glide.. Without a title,and no numbers it's worth about $2.00 for scrap.

Ironclassic,

Every time you post in a thread I have a tough time making any further than your post because I become fixated on your avatar.

I believe the #'s were "stamped" into the frame. Not a plate.
