    Harley-Davidson VIN Number Explained

    In this article of Tech Tips we’ll breakdown the progression of VIN numbers used by Harley-Davidson and explain what they all mean.

    Prior to 1930:

    Prior to 1930 H-D VIN numbers were a bit erratic and model number designations changed frequently. Unfortunately there is very little information out there for these numbers and what information is available is not always very accurate.

    From 1930 to 1962 the VIN number was the engine number and was only located on the left case. The VIN was between 8 and 10 digits with the first 2 digits being the production year, the next 2 – 4 letters being the model designation and the last 4 digits being the production number

    Example:

    Year Model Production Number
    49 FL 0001



    1962-1969: From 1962 to 1969 the VIN numbers where pretty much the same as from 1930 to 1962, but if the production number had 4 digits the first digit would be odd during odd production years and even during even production years. If the production number had 5 digits the first two digits would be odd during odd production years and even during even production years.

    Example:

    Year Model Production Number
    66 FLHB 22001

    1970-1980:

    From 1970 to 1980 the VIN number could be found on both the frame and the engine and would match exactly with the exception of a few months in 1979 which was due to an idea by the factory to make them different. The idea was quickly killed after law enforcement notified Harley-Davidson that it made the bikes look stolen. The production date range was from 1/9/1979 to 2/7/1979. The VIN numbers affected are 43000H9 through 48199H9. The engine numbers where 10 digit numerical IDs.

    The VIN numbers of this era where 9 digit codes where the first two digits corresponded to the model code (see list below), the next 5 digits were the production numbers (always starting above 10,000) and the last 2 digits were the year code (see list below).

    Example:

    Model Production Number Year
    2A 10859 H4



    Model Codes:

    1A = FL/FLP-1200 3D = Z-90 2G = XLT-1000
    2A = FLH -1200 4D = XLA 3G = FLH-80
    3A = XL - XLH-1000 5D = SX-175 5G = FLT-80
    4A = XLCH-1000 6D = SX-250 6G = FXE-80
    5A = GE-750 7D = MX-250 7G = FXS-80
    6A = SS-350 Sprint 9D = FXE - 1200 9G = FXWG-80
    7A = SX-125 4E = XLS-1000 1H = FXB-80
    8A = M65-S 5E = FXEF-1200 2H = CLE-80 Sidecar
    7B = ERS 6E = FXEF-80 3H = FLH-80 Classic
    8B = MSR-100 7E = FLHS-1200 5H = FLHS-80
    2C = FX -1200 9E = SS-250 6H = FL-80
    3C = SX-350 Sprint 2F = FXS - 1200 7H = FLH-1200 Police
    5C = MC-65 3F = SXT-125 8H = FLH-1200 Shrine
    6C = SR-100 4F = SS-175 9H = FLH-80 Police
    1D = LE Sidecar 6F = SS-125 1K = FLH-80 Shrine
    2D = X-90 7F = XLCR-1000

    Year Codes:

    H0 = 1970 H3 = 1973 H6 = 1976 H9 = 1979
    H1 = 1971 H4 = 1974 H7 = 1977 J0 = 1980
    H2 = 1972 H5 = 1975 H8 = 1978



    1981- Present:



    From 1981 to present the VIN has been a 17 digit code located on the frame and abbreviated on the engine. In this VIN the first 3 digits are the world manufacturer ID (see list below), the fourth digit is the weight class (see weight class list below). The next two letters are the model designation (see list below), the sixth digit was the engine type (see list below), the seventh digit was the introduction period (see list below), The eighth digit was the VIN check digit which could be 0-9 or X, the next letter was the model year (see list below), the letter after that was the assembly plant (see list below) and the last 6 numbers were the production numbers.



    Example:

    World Mfg. Class Model Engine Intro Check Year Plant Production Number
    1HD 1 AA K 1 9 B Y 158126



    World Manufacturer ID:

    1HD = Manufactured for sale within the United States

    Look in your owners manual Also for a break down of your VIN

    I believe the 8 in your vin is the engine size, the 5HD seems to say made for outside US market
