My wife was asking me today if I could tell her the date our bike was built. Is that possible and if so how?

Thanks & Merry Christmas

 

Should be stamped on the frame Month/year

 

I think the month and year are on the neck plate with VIN and other stuff......EXACT date I think you have to check with Harley.

......... thanks buddy !

 

Thanks for all the replies. Good and helpful information.

Today I noticed a tag on the lid inside the tour pack. It has an inspection date. Any idea if that is for just the tour pack or for a completed motorcycle?

 

I believe those stickers are installed when the saddlebag, tourpak, sidecovers, fairing, etc. were manufactured. Your bike would be manufactured after those parts. I know when mine got delivered to my dealer on the metal shipping pallet, it had a sticker on the r/s sidecover with the colors and the month/day/year on it. My dealer said that's when the bike came off the assembly line.

Update: Dealer was wrong, shocking I know. My build date from Harley was about 2 weeks after that label on the sidecover stated. So it stands to reason that the painted parts were painted 2-3 weeks earlier and then applied to the bike.

 

My softail it was stamped on the frame where the seat tough went in behind the gas tank.

 

Build date is stamped on the frame, mine was built in January 2014. Not sure if there's a day, can't remember.

 

Month and year only.
