Title: Frame Differences
Post by: cad250r on August 14, 2013, 11:17:19 AM

Is there anyway to tell the difference between an 88 and 89 frame? Is there something in the vin number that will tell what year it is?

I think heelgaurds mounts on 89 on the subframe, not sure what else is different. ..

As far as I know that's the only way to tell unless you can translate vin

Ok thanks. I didn't know about heel guard mounts. I'll check that out tonight. Just picked this up and gonna slowly fix it up.

on the lower subframe support about 6" up from the footpeg will be a bolt hole where the heel gaurds mounted.  That bolt hole is how you can tell

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1402[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]1403[/ATTACH]. This is sub frame and i'm not seeing any extra holes that my 86 frame doesn't have. So i'm assuming its an 88?
