Default How can you tell what year zilla you have?

I have a zilla, but it is in an aftermarket frame. Is there a way to tell what year it is by looking at the motor. Thanks in advance everyone.

Well, first off, if it has a 6 bolt head, its an 87.
7 bolt head, and its an 88+

The eighth digit from the end of the VIN wil tell you the year of almost every vehicle made after 1977.
1985-F
1986-G
1987-H
1988-J(they skip letters that look like numbers like I)
1989-K
1990-L
1991-M
and so on
They used Y in 2000 skipped Z it looks like a 2 and started with a #1 in 2001
This works on cars, atvs, boats, just about everything

Mr350X, Thanks for the info on the head. I will look when I get home.

sandneck, Is there a VIN on the motor? I didnt see one. I thought the VIN was usually on the frame. If it is where? Thanks in advance.

LT250RSuperstar, The bike came with an aftermarket chrome moly frame. Dont know where it is from or who made it. But I am getting ready to sell it.
