Sorry, but a postage stamp would be bigger then those pixs.
Can see a thing on the bike or engine.

Hello Nibroc
One wicked chopper.  Is it hard to turn??  My idea for the 1978 ironhead would be to try to restore as close to original as possible.  they are getting a bit scarce and i think they are worth keeping.  I'm an old fart and I'm sure very few people would agree with me.  Hope everyone at HTT has a good New Year.  Best to all from Alberta Canada where we all have PMS right now.

Hello again
Is there a way to find out what color this bike was when new.  Could I send VIN # ( 3A19970H8 ) to HD or somewhere to find out???  Or do you guys know by looking at VIN #??  Thanks.

3A = XLH-1000

19970 = Sequential number 10,000 up

H8 = 1978
