As you probably know, all the early 1015 LTD models were assembled in Nebraska...this is evident in the frame number, which has a leading '5' in the numerical portion of the VIN...means it was assembled in Nebraska...bikes assembled in Japan start with '0'. The sixth letter in the frame VIN is 'B' which means LTD model. The motor VIN series for early 1015 models was shared for A, B, and C series models so all these will have motor VIN's with the same alpha-numeric prefix...'E' means engine.
