Re: panhead FL 1953
Welcome from across the pond.
I have never, ever seen a pan with that high of a Vin number [seen them with five digits], so if its legal, it's kewl.
As for correctness, highly suspect.

Re: panhead FL 1953
Nice, nice looking scoot. Five digits is kewl, seen alot of them. On this site i do think there is a reference sheet of how many pans where made for specific years.
the vin pad looks good, shoot the whole scooter looks good.

Re: panhead FL 1953
There are NO 5 digit 53 models, production was far below the 9,000 unit threshold needed to break into 5 digits starting from 1000. That is not a factory number. Being in Denmark and if the paperwork matches the bike and is legal there it isn't an issue. Just not a real H-D number.
