Default What Harley do I have?

Just took her out of storage and thinking about getting her to run again.
I bought her 25 years ago and always thought it was a Fatboy. LOL
Now I find some info and one says it's a BL = FXSTS and another site says it's a BL = FXSTC

Her Vin is: 1HD1BLL11LY03XXXX other info on title: YR 1990, Body MC, WT-E-BHP 97.8

I might be wrong but it does look like a Softail Custom to me ........ but I wouldn't bet the farm on that

Well it sure the heck does not have a springier front end. It is an FXSTS. It is a 1990 . Someone sold the springer. Witch is the only real value the bike had.

To bad the stringer front end is gone. That made the bike desirable in most any market. You would have a hard time find a true replacement.
The 5 and 6 th letter BL leaves no doubt it is a FXSTS

Thanks all, I guess I'll have to get parts for a FXSTS then.
