Default VIN Decoder

Morning all. I just tried the VIN Decoder in the How to section and it came up with nothing. Message said it code not find any info on my bike.

Is there somewhere else I could get the info from? A list of what each number and letter combo would mean maybe?

make sure your have the vin, not the motor number or tranny number...the vin starts with 1HD1 which means made in the usa...that's the easy part- it'll be on the frame neck or on your AB issued title

the factory service manual has the full vin decoder in it

You can not use any letters O or I. These would be numbers 0 and 1.

the FLHX model did not exist when his manual was printed- another reason why the correct year manual is always preferable to another year or generic

OP is in Alberta so if he has a Canadian bike the VIN starts with 5HD, not 1HD.
