I don't believe you can tell options from a '66 VIN just the year and whether it's an FL or FLH. Here's a site that will tell you what all the letters mean etc. Most of the big twins sold were FLH's with the King of the Highway group (which was dealer installed) spotlights, turn signals and some chrome stuff. The FL's were mostly police bikes, both foot clutch and hand clutch.
