How to find out if it is RT or DT?

[francoblay1]

I would swear that, long time ago, I saw a thread about this subject but after an hour of searching I cannot find it :bang:

Can someone, please, lead me to that thread or just simple explain to me how do you find out what chassis (frame) the bike has? Something about the VIN#?

Thanks guys.

Hummm... no, not this one... it was about frames... DT (Day Tech) or RT (Rolling Thunder)

Also, this must be for 05 & earlier models as for my VIN# it wouldn't make sense... my VIN# is 5J1 1BJ13 6W 000516 Accordingly to these explanations I would have a 107 motor and I am not, I have a 117 motor in my 06 K9.

Thanks anyway.

I think that if it is an rt it will have a maple leaf on the upper motor mount.

Mike's right, the RT's will have the maple leaf in that location

Wasn't sure man... I tried =)

well, two things for sure, if you have a K9 it's not earlier than an '06 and it does have a 117 unless somebody swapped it out for a 107.

Yup, that's for sure Where they using both, RT & DT frames on 06 K9 models? or just one... which one?

I'm not sure about the '06 but here's what the BDMPP site says about the '07...

I would think yours is the same.

I have a 2006 K-9 and mine looks like the DT from the above picture. Now I'm doomed....???

 

[francoblay1]

Yup, I managed to find out, it is a DT.

Now, just curiosity... is this a good, bad thing or it doesn't matter? Is there anything in particular we should be aware of in these frames?

Thanks guys.

They Suck :lol: :lol: :lol: :roll: :roll:

Sorry Franco I couldn't help myself. I am sure it doesn't matter, however it is good to know when you buy parts especially neck bearings, my two cents worth.

Yeah Carlos, that´s exactly why I needed to know... for when buying parts. I saw the Battery covers (to mention some) are different for both frames too.

MY 06 K-9 is the BDM frame based on the picture above.
