Vin Decoding
Hello!
I need to identify the model of my 51 Panhead.
The number is 51F6342; however it only has a F, not FL as the decoding chart say. Could it be that the "6" is an "L"?
I'm also attaching a pic of the 49 frame.
Thanks for your support

Re: Vin Decoding
Gustavo, Most "F" models were sold as either sidecar equipped units or commercial units (FS, the S was not stamped on the pad) especially for export to Police departments and Government users due to the poor quality of fuel available in most countries into the mid 50s. They seem to appear most often outside the USA.
