Title: Need help with determining if the H is a P or F?
Post by QNero on 05/26/21 at 16:16:32

So, as far as I can tell my bike is a purple 1986 not and 88 like I had previously thought. However the VIN striker on it states that its a LS650 H.

So, on parts list is that a P or an F? :-?

By the code, yours is a '87.

Only difference between a P or an F is the handlebar/riser and cables.

P is the buckhorns
F is the flat or drag bars
