Help with year and make

[natboh]

I just picked up a parts bike and put the spike rims on my 81. I'm trying to order brake shoes but I'm unsure of the year and I am having trouble figuring out the vin.
4r5-008537
I don't know if is just me but can't find it and any help would be greatly appreciated

81-H or also called the special II that should have the spoke front and rear drum brakes on it. Your pic looks like a 4R4 that has mag wheels with a front disc. The rear drum shoes should still be the same. Does the motor and frame have the same vin? Maybe the wheels have been changed at some point.

The pic is the bike I put the spoke rims on but it's an old pic. The parts bike with the 4r5 vin had the spoke rims front and back.

4R4 and 4R5 are both 81 models.

Awesome thank you! I'll definitely start to make a list of all the different year/parts on the bike so I can keep it straight
