RE: What bike is this

Me neither, but it has been a very interesting conversation. I am impressed, but not surprised, by the quality of the responses, especially those of wildhogn and kimber fan.

The seller tells me that he is selling for a friend. I don't think he is interested in the precise details. I hope whoever buys it knows what he is getting.

RE: What bike is this

The one thing I know for sure .. it's not worth getting "killed" over

My point was .. it's not a 100th Anniversary Road Glide. Good night gents

Looks like a Road Electra Ultra Glide.... It does seem a little odd that it was issue a salvage title on an insurance theft recovery with minimal damage. I have seen bikes sell at insurance theft recoveries with no discernible damage sell with a clear title... what's up with that?

Unless the bike came from KY, or TX (there could be more states I don't know about) any theft recovery will have a "salvage" title, even if it doesn't have a scratch. Anytime an insurance company pays a claim of any sort to a customer, a brand will appear on the title. Looks like it's an Electra Glide Standard to me.

There is no way I would even consider this bike. Salvage title without knowing the bike = DO NOT TOUCH.

RE: What bike is this

1HD1DDV193Y600375 That is the VN number your listing shows.The 1 designates made in the USA, HD stands for Harley davidson, 1 designates heavy 901CC and larger, (The DD designates FLHT which is Electraglide standard.) The V is carburated, The 1 is regular induction date, the 9 is misc B/S. The 3 is year, Y is assembly plant York Pa, and 600375 is actual serial number. I hope this helps. Oh yea look in the front of your service manual Pg 2-3?

It is not a 100th Road Glide. The side panals are wrong, the wrong fairing.

Stay away from this bike unless you like "project" bikes to work on.

77 tulsa, the 9 is not misc BS it is the check digit, some type of math. The rest of your brake down is right. Even though the 1 in the eight position does technically mean regular induction date, all Cali bikes have a 3 regardless and the rest of the county a 1 unless someone has seen something else.
