Hello all,
I have purchased a 1944 WLC Flathead. I have quite a history of paperwork on this bike. The VIN on the saddle of the engine reads 8381... not the typical 44WLCXXXX. I do know that this bike was used in the military in Canada, as I purchased the bike from the original owners step-son. The paperwork that I have on the bike shows a VIN of TAF8381, or 8381 (in more recent years).
My question is, has anyone seen such a VIN on these bikes? I am assuming that it is a number that was somehow assigned by Canada, but am getting grief trying to get the VIN Inspection so that I can title.
Any input or information is MUCH appreciated! We are in a small town, and there is a serious lack of good resources for knowledge here.
Thanks! I look forward to being an active member of this site!
