Hi all-- I have a lead on a '73 175 Jackpiner and have been given the following frame number: 7-30363880. I believe from reading this Forum that it is a 73 manufactured in March, but does the 7 indicate a 175 Jackpiner?
Thanks in advance
The first digit is the year. The next two are the month. The final five are the serial number.
So according to your numbers you have a 1977 which was made in the 30th month - better go back and check those numbers again - the second two numbers will be 01 -> 12.
Actually, on second thought, throw out the 7- and you end up with a correct set of numbers.
year - 1973
month - March
I have no idea what the 7 is doing in there.

My bike has the same leading number.

I could be wrong, but the 7 in front of the frame number indicates that it was a 175 frame. Both of my 175 frames have that number in front. This doesn't equate to the engine numbering to determine engine size, but my 250's have a 4 in front of the frame number and my 400 has a 5 in front. This is just my input and I'm sure others would have the correct answer.
