Default Need help with model ?
Hello guys, I am looking at 1978 HD Shovel that has the following Vin #

2C63926H8

Owner says he is not sure what the actual model was. He thinks it was a FLH, but I seem to think it was a FX1200? any help greatly appreciated

P.S. What is throwing me is it has Wide Glide Front end, & like a softail Bobbed rear fender. ? Is this correct for this year?

Thanks to all.
