I have just bought a Sportster and according to the VIN number it was made in 2004
VIN is 5HD4CAM124Kxxxxxx
x's replace the build number.
Now the strange part. My registration document shows the bike was first registered here in Jersey, Channel Islands, England on the 5th January 2004.
There is no way the bike could have been made in the USA in 2004, and sent to Jersey in 5 days and registered.
So it must have been made in 2003...yet the VIN shows it is a 2004 bike.
So would a 2004 model bike have been built in 2003? or what is going on here?
