I want to buy the chrome molding for the top of the frame but I'm not sure what model I have. The schematics to order the part has three options;
Does anyone know the differences?
And how do I add images to this site? After I click edit, there is no image icon. I will try my laptop instead of my phone. That should work.
Is this a good question?

Mike,if it is a 1986 than it should be a "G". something like this
V.I.N. #: JS1FZ11A8G31
ENGINE PREFIX: FA50-
ENGINE TYPE: 49cc Two-stroke
MODEL CODE: 022
COLOR: Red, Blue, Yellow
The 10th digit of the VIN is the year code. The letters I, O, Q, U, Z are not used to avoid confusion with numbers:
1980 A
1981 B
1982 C
1983 D
1984 E
1985 F
1986 G
1987 H
1988 J
1989 K
1990 L
1991 M
1992 N
1993 P
1994 R
1995 S
1996 T
1997 V
1998 W
1999 X
2000 0
2001 1
2002 2
2003 3
Somewhat conflicting information is about the Z. If it is used in the VIN it is for the 1982 model.

Thanks Old Turk! Once again, you are the man! It's a 1987 since the 10th number is a H. I order from cheapcycleparts.com. Here is the link to the FA50. http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemparts/...
If you go to the frame there are 3 types. How do I know which one I have?
Looks like yours is a 41100-02230-33L
frame.
I think it's 02230-019. 33L is pink and mine is black. I uploaded an old pic of it to my profile. I'll add more when I log on to here with my laptop. I have a few other questions for you too. Do you have a different site you prefer for parts? Also, I keep reading about this Simonini exhaust but I can't track one down. Do those expansion chambers really help?
Absolutely do the expansion chambers work. They have been doing that since 1938:-) That is what one would refer to as a tuned exhaust. Rally good explanation on here http://www.dragonfly75.com/motorbike/ECt... As for parts, I purchase wherever I get the best price. Since I do not do a complete restore etc. I do not need a whole bunch of parts. You can always get great information on here http://www.mopedarmy.com/ the black frame is part number
41100-02230-019
