How to Determine Which Year & Model Harley You Own
The first step to getting the right parts and modifications done to your motorcycle, is knowing what you have. If you have ever walked into your local auto parts store, you know this to be true. As soon as you ask for a particular part, the clerk behind the counter starts the rapid-fire questions that help determine what you actually have.
For modern cars this is pretty simple. Look inside your driver’s door and you will find all kinds of information. A motorcycle is stamped with codes. For Harley-Davidson these codes, and their locations, have changed over the years.

This article will give you the information you need to properly identify your Harley-Davidson motorcycle. For more information on the 'Harley alphabet soup' and understanding the model codes, check out our article on Deciphering Harley-Davidson Model Designation Codes.

Vintage Harley-Davidson VIN Numbers & Locations
The very early models 1903-1909 did not have a stamping for identification. The very first Harley Davidson models were simply identified by what they were. It’s not like today’s world where you are sifting through a variety of different models.

In 1910 the practice of stamping the motor was implemented. The bike model was identified by the 6, 6A, 6B, 6C, 6E and then the series number which was a range between 4200-7600.
This was the first year to have the belt idler and the HD bar and shield logo with the word “trademark”. This same method was used for all the bikes moving forward until the late 1960’s.
Harley-Davidson Anti-Theft Codes
In 1962 Harley-Davidson started stamping anti-theft numbers on the left side of the neck, in addition to other places such as triple trees, and transmissions. The anti-theft number starts with a letter and is followed by four numbers. These were tied to a VIN and were an effort to help identify stolen motorcycles or parts, however, they are not a VIN themselves and are not used for titling a motorcycle.
What Year Did Harley Start Putting A VIN On The Frame?
1970. The 1970 model year motorcycles were the first that had a matching VIN number on the frame that corresponded to the VIN found on the engine of the bike.

1970 - 1980 Harley Davidson VIN Decoder
In 1970, things get little more complicated. The addition of new models and the involvement of the government pushed Harley to come up with a different system that includes codes that represent a model.
These 9-character alpha numeric VIN codes are stamped on both the engine and the frame. The first two characters represent the model code. This is a number and alpha character.
This 1972 XLCH 1000 you can find the vin on the right side of the frame. 4A19006H2
4A = XLCH-1000
19006 = production number
H2 = 1972

1970 - 1980 Harley VIN Model Year Codes - Final 7 Digits | |||
Code | Year | Code | Year |
H0 | 1970 | H6 | 1976 |

H3 | 1973 | H9 | 1979 |
H4 | 1974 | J0 | 1980 |
H5 | 1975 |
NOTE: In 1979 there was a small collection of bikes that were produced with non-conforming engine numbers. The factory caught the issue but not before some of the bikes were out on the market. The production range from 1/9/79 to 2/7/79 has VINs in the range from 43000H9 through 48199H9. These were the only exceptions during this time period.
1981 - 2000 Harley Davidson 17 Digit VIN Decoder
In 1981 Harley moved to a 17-digit VIN code. The full VIN was stamped on the neck of the frame, and an abbreviated version of the code was stamped on the engine. This code and sequence remained unchanged through the year 2000.
An example of this code would look like this: 1HD1BFK11BY127956
- The first digit represents where the bike was made. 1 = USA
- The following HD represents Harley-Davidson.
- The fourth digit represents the weight class. 1 = Heavy Weight, 4 = Light Weight, 8 = Sidecar.
- The next two characters represent the model. (see Model Code Chart below).
- The 7th digit represents the engine type (see Engine Codes Chart below).
- The 8th digit represents the introduction date. 1 = Regular, 2 =Mid-year, January, 3 = California Special, 4 = Daytona, March
- The 9th digit is a check digit. If you don’t know what a check digit is, it is simply a digit to make sure the entire string is valid.
- The 10th digit is the year of manufacturer.
- The 11th digit is the assembly plant the bike was made in. Y = York, PA, T = Tomahawk, J = Milwaukee, K = Kansas City.
- The 12th to 17th digits are the production numbers.
