Is this a test? Does the engine and VIN match? Do you have the VIN?

From here I can only guess it is a XLH 1000 from 1981.

Be very Careful of Generalizations...
ie, 1970 till 1980 was Not 17 digits at all... and the "layout" was different... ie No 1HD1
1981 to 2000 were also a bit different, from 2001 on... Due Diligence Required.....
post # 20 is an XLS 1000 Ironhead, from 1982!!!!

BTW BK = FXSTC, L= 1340 EVO... J= 1988... and P =1993...post #19...
