can anyone decode a 14 digit number?

Post by cr750 »

I found a roller for my conversion, it seems to be a 4 stroke chassis and the guy who has it was in the process of installing a 250 2stroke. I am going to buy it because he only wants $150 for it and the 250 engine and they all are better than the steel. The decal that normally says the model and year were removed before he go it. I have no idea what the chassis is, it's aluminum, has a Y thats too low for a 250 pipe, and the number stamped in the front is JHHBBOZZZBMSHH, OR JHH0ZZZBMSHH, (I always forget if they use zeros or o's.)

Can anyone help? vins are normally 17 digits, and the honda shop had no idea.

A VIn with all letters is a bogus VIN, in any country.

now that is a good idea asteroid, ill do that friday after school, and I will get a picture if all goes well, but I have a feeling the code I am seeing is bogus. Not all vins have 17 digits, I have seen 14 digit vins before on import cars/bikes. Hell if it is a bogus number then it cant come up stolen right?
