Default Date of Manufacture


I just purchased a 1981 FXB Sturgis and the Date of Manufacture has been scraped. I can see the year stamp (81) but the month date is scraped through. Is there a way to find the Date of manufacture if sticker is destroyed?

Belly numbers will give you info

eg ......

1 = Model

75 = year

001 = Julian date

001 = sequential unit produced that day

1975 FXE right case belly number



1978 FXE right side belly number




Just need to google the Julian Date Calendar for you year and you will have the correct monthe, day and unit produced that day.

The right side belly number is located inside the cam chest area
