Subject: Re: Vmax Question about production year Cheryl, I can get the model and year from a combo of the 2WE- and the last 6 #s on serial #; BTW, for anyone's info here, from 88 thru 96 at least, 49 staters have the 2WE, and Cal. models have 2WF. Hope this helps. Johnny Hacksaw(ce) ----- Subject: Re: Vmax Question about production year The 2WE means it is an 88 or newer model, 49 state, and the serial # part on the frame identifies it as a 90, serial #s ran from 010101- 014101 that year, yours falls between those #s, think it was in the 011___ range.... Is this clearer? Last 6 #s on the frame ID... Hope this is clearer... Johnny Hacksaw(ce) PS. That white sticker on the neck should also have a build date as well, Deon. With what you have given me already, have narrowed it to an 88 or 89. This helps, if it a 49 state model, it's an 88, if Cal., either an 88 or 89... Does your bike carry a canister along the left framerail, just above the swingarm pivot mount? If so, it's Calif. model.
