The VIN for my bike is not pulling up in the DMV database, I have not actually been to the office to talk to them yet but a family member works for the state and has access to the DMV system and says it is not pulling up.. I also checked sites like carfax, and free VIN report among other things and nothing is being found.

I know the numbers are correct because I've checked them about 100 times and this is what is stamped on the frame.

If you go here http://www.motoverse.com/tools/vin/harley.asp and paste the VIN it pulls up info there, so I know its lagit.. but still a no go for the DMV.

I'm told the bike is a 1982 bodel, it has 25th anniv badging on it. However, the motoverse says its a 1983?

Any ideas?


It has not been tagged since 1991 btw.

 

The "D" in the 10th position of the VIN indicates it's a 1983 model.

You can find more info on your breaking down your 1000 Ironhead VIN number HERE.

If it hasn't been tagged since 1991, it's not surprising that DMV ( the people that issue tags) no longer have any info on it. They don't keep this chit forever.

 

What cHarley said. The DMV has records of currently registered vehicles, not every vehicle. They would have to purge their records from time to time.
