RE: Vin Number
I don't think you can get a actual "production date" from the V.I.N. # itself .. but there is another number called a Crankcase Identification Number stamped on the crankcase halves. This may help:
Crankcase Identification Numbers stamped at Capitol Drive facility (Milwaukee), used to identify engine and track production changes. The numbers are located on both left and right crankcase halves.
Big Twin: Left Case - Outside lower front
Right Case - Inside gear case compartment
XL Models: Left Case - Inside primary compartment
Right Case - Outside near oil pump
Example: 1992 244 137
15 = Engine Designation
1 = 1200cc Shovelhead
7 = 1000cc Iron XL
14 = 1340cc Shovelhead
15 = 1340cc Evolution
16 = XR-1000
17 = 883cc Evolution XL
18 = 1100cc Evolution XL
19 = 1200cc Evolution XL
20 = 1340cc Evolution - California (1988 - ?)
21 = 883cc Evolution XL- California (1988 - ?)
22 = 1200cc Evolution XL- California (1988 - ?)
92 = Model Year
244 = Day of Production
001 = Jan. 1st 182 = Jul. 1st
032 = Feb. 1st 213 = Aug. 1st
060 = Mar. 1st 244 = Sep. 1st
091 = Apr. 1st 274 = Oct. 1st
121 = May 1st 305 = Nov. 1st
152 = Jun. 1st 335 = Dec. 1st
137 = Unit Number That Day (production number)

Hi All,
I would like to figure out the production date of my 06 Ultra. How do you interpit the Vin Number.
Thanks
