Can you post up a photo? This sounds like an older Sportster, can you provide a bit more information about year, model, etc? Also, what is the number on the frame? Is this a registration/title problem you're dealing with?

CK is an 883R, but there are some numbers and letters that should precede that.

So, why do you need the serial number information? For what questions are you seeking answers? Please post up some photos of the numbers and the bike. Some background information would be helpful as you mention a "customer" in your post.

Something doesn't sound right.
CK=883R (2006)
3=1200cc
7=2007

In 2007 the model code for the 883R was changed from CK to CS.

This is a valid question. Why does it matter?

Looks like the OP was just a "one hit wonder."
