![]() If you need to verify your 9 digit VIN then you could probably search up the total number of bikes produced by H-D in your model year and if the middle five numbers of your VIN are less than or equal to that number, it should be a valid VIN for that year. Presumably there is a 00001 sequential number out there in the first VIN issued for every year from 1970 to 1980 and the highest sequential number will be the total number of bikes they built that year. This is not for one particular model but the total produced up to that point across all models that year. The middle five numbers represent the sequential order in which the bike rolled off the assembly line. There's an explanation of this at with a table to decode the numbers. The prefix represents the model, the suffix the model year. The first and last two digits are a combination of letter and number. I called the MoCo and verified the below to be the case. This may have been covered before but I just went through working out what the story is with 9 digit VINs on the shovel for one of my bikes so figured I'd pass along what I found for the sake of reference. ![]()
