Each letter designates discrete info on any particular model of bike. The owner's manual can be used to completely break it down. It'd make a good comedy line - a bunch of guys who know the codes in depth sitting around talking bikes. "the FXSTC is nice, but myself I prefer the FLSTSB ..............my buddy is partial to the FXDL ............ some are buying the FLHTCUTG".
