I know it may sound lame, but is there any way to find out via the vin how my 77 FLH looked when it rolled off the assembly line? I've just started the restoration, and while i've been taking her apart the last few days I just can't help wondering how she started out.
Thanks, Jim

The VIN will give you some info. It will tell you whether it was an FL, FLH, FLHS, Police model or Shriner. 1977 had a rare model called a Confederate Edition, I think they only made 42 of these FLH models, most were Sportsters and Superglides. 1977 was the first year for the comfort flex seat, adjustable passenger pegs and a few other minor changes.

Thanks for the info....I sometines expect too much, I was mostly wondering about the paint it had when new.
The VIN is "2A17xxxH1" the speedo says Police Special but it also had a springer added so Who Knows......what she's been through.
Great info thanks again, Jim
