How to identify your motorcycle's model and year, what our chassis codes and year ranges mean, and how to choose the right part for your motor.
Check the model year on the registration or title. On US-market motorcycles, the 10th character of the VIN is also the model year.
Example: in the VIN WB10M330XT6123456, the 10th character is T, which means a 2026 model. (This is a sample VIN, not a real motorcycle.)
| 10th character | Model year | 10th character | Model year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 2006 | H | 2017 |
| 7 | 2007 | J | 2018 |
| 8 | 2008 | K | 2019 |
| 9 | 2009 | L | 2020 |
| A | 2010 | M | 2021 |
| B | 2011 | N | 2022 |
| C | 2012 | P | 2023 |
| D | 2013 | R | 2024 |
| E | 2014 | S | 2025 |
| F | 2015 | T | 2026 |
| G | 2016 | V | 2027 |
Then match the model and year to the chart in "What do K26, K52, and KA3 mean?" below.
Still not sure? Email a photo of the dashboard and the VIN to operations@fmsaccessories.com or call 201-264-8365, and we'll confirm the right part before you order.
All years in our product names are BMW (or Harley-Davidson) model years. They are not the year the motorcycle was built, bought, or put in service. A motor delivered in late 2025 as a 2026 model is a 2026.
These are BMW chassis codes. Each code covers a generation of the motorcycle, and parts are usually designed for one generation. Product names start with the code when a part fits only that platform.
Parts with no code in the name, such as connectors, tools, and hardware, are universal.
A plus sign means the part fits that model year and every later year of the same generation that BMW currently builds. When a generation ends, we replace the plus sign with the final year (for example, 2015-2024).
No. BMW did not produce an RT-P for the 2025 model year. The R 1250 RT-P (K52) ended with 2024, and the R 1300 RT-P (KA3) started with 2026. Parts listed for 2015-2024 do not fit the R 1300 RT-P unless the listing says so.
Most do. The 2015-2018 R 1200 RT-P and the 2019-2024 R 1250 RT-P share the K52 chassis, so most K52 parts fit 2015-2024. There are two exceptions:
The year range in the product name tells you which applies.
Starting with the 2021 model year, the R 1250 RT-P has a large full-color TFT display screen. Earlier K52 motors have analog gauges. Radar display, GPS, and phone mounts are shaped differently for each dashboard. Choose TFT if you have the color screen, and Pre-TFT if you have analog gauges.
Yes. GS-P parts are listed under the R 1250 GS-P and R 1300 GS-P categories, and F-Series parts carry the K8X code. Always check the chassis code or model in the product name, because RT-P, GS-P, and F-Series parts are not interchangeable.
Harley-Davidson parts start with "H-D" and name the model or mounting size, for example "H-D Road Glide (2026+)" or "1.25" Split Clamp (Road King, Electra Glide)." Universal clamp mounts are labeled by tube size (1.00" or 7/8"). Measure your bar or tube before ordering a clamp mount.
Our parts are designed for factory BMW and Harley-Davidson police motors. Agency builds sometimes move radios, lights, or radar components, which can affect fit. If your motors have a custom build, contact us before ordering and we'll help you confirm what works.
