Hi guy's been trying to find out what year my bike is once and for all. Now as some will know I bought my bike in Holland about 15 years back with a Dutch number plate, that in itself doesn't mean that the bike originated there, could have come from anywhere. I have been to a couple of sites, that say the vin code is easy to decode, that is bull.
I think my bike is a 79 KZ maybe a K3 maybe a clone of a clone why because I can't find any relation to my vin code.
My Frame number is stamped on the neck of the frame, (so are most bikes), the number is GL 2-4016517. I can get the engine number .
So I have been here..https://members.home.nl/mmarx/Wing/partsbook/vin.htm
NOT ONE of the frame descriptions start GL 2 only GL1. See picture below, My frame number is GL 2-4016517 and not GL 1 nnnnnwhatever see picture. If anyone can shed a little light on this and tell when my bike was made I would be eternally grateful, why I hear you ask, well looks like my brake discs are not of a KZ My discs have six mounting holes nearly all the brake discs I have found seen new replacement glued on or whatever are 5 hole? So if anyone can say what the hell is going on with my (bought used) bike I would be happy. If you click on the photo the pic will expand. Ian
