Default 1979 FLH versus FLH Classic
I'm BRAND NEW to possible (& hopeful) ownership of a harley. I'm interested in buying a friends bike which he says is a 1979 FLH. Problem is I need to know if it is an FLH or FLH Classic. (difference in loan value you see). VIN# as far as I can tell is 6H1865596. It is 1340cc.

Here is a pic.

Any advice apprecitated.
Thanks

I did not know that there was an FLH classic in 1979. I rode FLH Shovels for years and only new them as FL's or FLH's.

Terry's right. Found out from a Harley dealership today that it is an FL80.
