Default frame vin number

I have a reconditioned FXR and the frame VIN is 96CGSR500514STFXR
I am trying to get a new tank but want to make sure it is compatible with the frame.

It must be an aftermarket frame but nothing comes up on carfax

I'm pretty sure you can't run the vin numbers on motorcycles. I tried doing that when I bought mine with no sucsess.

I rechecked the vin before i posted this thread. I know Harleys start with 1HD. I think it must be aftermarket. The last three letters are FXR and I do not think HD runs their vins like that. I am stabbing in the dark so all help is appreciated.
