The build date should be stamped on the frame in the area at the rear of the tank.

 

Thanks TCSTD, I knew I'd find the answer here.

1. Market designation (1 character) 1=Domestic, 5=International

2. Manufacturer (2 characters) HD= Harley Davidson

3. Motorcycle type (1 character) 1=Heavyweight motorcycle

4. Model (2 characters) whatever model you have eg BJ=FLSTC

5. Engine type (1 character) Y=Carby, B=Fuel injected

6. Introduction date (1 character) 1=Regular, 2=Mid year, 3=California
