I also thought it was a 1996 but it has a head badge imprint number of 1508, so I am thinking it is a ‘98?

OK, the head badge, and this pic from the 98 catalog confirms it is a 98 model

Unfortunately the shop I worked at in Manhattan Beach is closed now. It closed in 2017 after 54 years of being in business. It is now a shop for vehicle racks geared for the outdoor enthusiast.

This decal (Walters-Galesburg, IL) is on @jimbo53 '21 Shelby and I believe he told me they only sold bicycles the first year and became strictly a Harley dealer after that. Jim please correct me if I mispoke. V/r Shawn

This one is on a friends crusty ‘80 Cruiser I took in for service. Westminster Bike sticker before the 714 area code. Didn’t find any info about them in a quick Google search.
Any of you OC/HB guys remember the store?

YES!
My friend at the time, oldest friend still around,
and member here @Tim Kersey &i used to "Dumpster Dive" there,
for anything good, including broken frames,
returned for "Warranty".
We went to Westminster Bible Chapel back then,
on 13th Street.
