I cant figure this 1995 vin out, bike code is BJ-- FLSTC
introduction date is 5, cant find anything more than 1-4 for introduction dates. Anybody have a clue?

 

Harley codes start with HD. It's most likely a special construction bike and not a harley. They call them Harley clones. There's a lot of them out there.

 

Hit up member "dawg" I recall him being real knowledgable on vin, part numbers, etc. always helpful.

 

Google?

I figured it out at my local stealer... the 8th digit of 5 means "special for California". Most likely the limited paint set colors of moonglow blue and black.
