The front end is a '77 or later FXS Low Rider due to the mag front wheel, dual discs and narrow forks. The rear wheel appears to be from a Fat Boy. The frame however appears to be a early 60's Panhead frame due to the top motor mount and the tab on the support tube under the back bone. The square swing arm id late 70's early 80's.

Either the cases are not original or the original numbers have been milled out and bogus numbers stamped in. Those are not even close to Harley numbers. Plus there should be a star at the beginning and end.

What are the VIN number on the right side of the neck? If it's an original pan frame then there will be no numbers. Here's the model and year codes for 70's Shovelheads.

Example: 1A 13478 H7
1A = Model Designation
1A = FL-1200
6E = FXEF-80
2A = FLH-1200
7E = FLHS-1200
3A = XLH-1000
9E = SS-250
4A = XLCH-1000
2F = FXS-1200
5A = GE-750
3F = SXT-125
6A = SS-350 Sprint
4F = SS-175
7A = SX-125
6F = SS-125
8A = M65-S
7F = XLCR-1000
7B = ERS
2G = XLT-1000
8B = MSR-100
3G = FLH-80
2C = FX-1200
5G = FLT-80
3C = SX-350 Sprint
6G = FXE-80
5C = MC-65
7G = FXS-80
6C = SR-100
9G = FXWG-80
1D = LE Sidecar
1H = FXB-80
2D = X-90
2H = CLE Sidecar
3D = Z-90
3H = FLH-80 Classic
5D = SX-175
5H = FLHS-80
6D = SX-250
6H = FL-80
7D = MX-250
7H = FLH-1200 Police
9D = FXE-1200
8H = FLH-1200 Shrine
4E = XLS-1000
9H = FLH-80 Police
5E = FXEF-1200
1K = FLH-80 Shrine
13478 = Sequential Number
H = Decade Code
H = 1970 thru 1979
J = 1980 only
7 = Model Season
0 = 1970
1 = 1971
2 = 1972
3 = 1973
4 = 1974
5 = 1975
6 = 1976
7 = 1977
8 = 1978
9 = 1979

Can't find any number in the neck. For what my dad told me and I can remember he always claim it to be a 69 frame it is a custom built bike. Though so I really not sure of everything also it has some stretch and rake in it from what my dad told me.
