Broncco Serial numbers

[capguncowboy]

A buddy of mine texted me a picture of a number stamped in the engine plate of his Broncco tonight. It was under a couple of layers of paint.

What's interesting is that there are stars on either side of the number.

At any rate, he asked if there was any rhyme or reasoning behind the serials. Can you tell what year, model etc?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It looks like *0303892*

The stars are there so you can't add or change them.

All the Italian made bikes I have owned were stamped like that, even the Indian and Harley ones :laugh:

So, is there any reasoning to the serials or are they just in numerical order from x-xxx (like Rupp used)?

If so, would anyone be able to give me a guestimate on the year?
