Is this a test? Does the engine and VIN match? Do you have the VIN?

http://sportsterpedia.com/doku.php/s...story:99xx-01a

From here I can only guess it is a XLH 1000 from 1981.

Be very Careful of Generalizations...
ie, 1970 till 1980 was Not 17 digits at all... and the "layout" was different... ie No 1HD1
1981 to 2000 were also a bit different, from 2001 on... Due Diligence Required.....
post # 20 is an XLS 1000 Ironhead, from 1982!!!!

BTW BK = FXSTC, L= 1340 EVO... J= 1988... and P =1993...post #19...

I was wondering if you also have any idea what BKLK is?? I bought a big dog chopper but it has a Harley Davidson motor with issues but I can't seem to address them because I have no idea what year or size the engine is the numbers casted on the side of the motor are as follows ⭐BKLK027498⭐
