Who has the VIN year model list?

Post by Scorch »

I checked my parts bike today, GT380 74494. What model and year does that indicate?

Hmm... according to that site, it is a '75. But I definitely ain't a '75 motor. The engine# is 13830, and Ram Air looks competely different, as do the carbs (indivdually controlled).

Yeah, odd, I guess the PO must have swapped out the newer motor for an older one.
