The engine came from a 1991 FLTC Shrine Big Twin. (DK is the model, M (1991) the year).
The 69XLH13823 was probably on a title someone obtained, and they stamped that # on an available frame, assembled the parts, and called it a motorcycle...
Curious note; HD didn't start stamping both engines and frames until 1970 models. Prior to that, the VIN numbers were on engines.
