 ====== Vehicle Identification ======
 ===== Frame Numbers =====
 There was no frame identification for purpose of ownership on 1957-1969 model Sportsters. \\
 However, there were stampings on the different parts of the frame combined with certain features that can be used to date the frame. \\ [[techtalk:ih:body01w|Click Here]] to view Ironhead Frame Identification in the Sportsterpedia. \\
 ===== Engine Serial Numbers =====
 The only numbers for the purpose of identification were on the engine case. \\
   * The engine serial number is stamped on the left side of the engine case between the two cylinders. \\ The first 5 or 6 digits represent the year and model ((HD Parts Catalog XLH/XLCH-1000 #(99451-78) )) \\ From 1962-1969, models with 4 digit production (serial) numbers have an even-numbered first digit for even years and odd numbered first digit for odd years. \\
