    Yeah I could do other brands. I just did Honda for now because that is what I have and those are all filled in in the Specs section on the homepage. Alot of the frame numbers are not filled in for Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc on there. Not as much info available.

    All 3 of mine came back correct, I love that, wish I had it before when I was trying to figure out a couple of mine. Pretty cool! Thanks!

    If it's any help to fatten up the database, JH3TE040 X GM230319 comes back as a 250ES unknown year.
    It is a 250ES, it says '12/85 1986 Model' on the frame tag and it's a UK spec. Don't know if one supplied to the Uk had any different coding?
    Would it be ok to put a link to this on our local ATV forum trike page?

    I dolled up the page a bit and I think I may have fixed the bug in the US90 logic.

    Thanks for taking the time to write this program. I have not needed to use it but it is great that it will be there if I need it.

    New and improved!!!

    I found a sweet site called motoverse.com that is basically the same thing I created, but better since it can decode trike, quad, motorcycle, etc VINs of all makes! The only downside I have found is that it can only decode 17 digit VINs from 1980+. My new site just passes a parameter to their site and shows it in a window so you don't have to select brand, etc on their site.

    Try it out:
    decodemyvin.webs.com

    My old site for only Honda trikes is still up if you have an older VIN that is shorter than 17 digits. (atcvin.webs.com)

    Moved this to the World Class Help forum. Should be an invaluable tool for most people. Thanks again for sharing

    OK guys, how do I decode an engine number??

    Our search feature is NOT MY BUDDY !!

    Also is it TB "O" or "0" 3E-3040242

    I just want to know what year ATC70 this is? Yes, I know about shift up or down, I just want the exact year.

    THANKS for any help!!
