A guy at work gave me his old haro f/f neck and bars from back when he was a kid. Anyone breakdown the serial number fer me. Thats a November 1985 Produced frame. 6313 - production number. Post a picture for a model ID. What follows is the serial number guide I've complied based on the accumulation of scores of Torker serial numbers over a 3 year period. A few months into collecting serial numbers (SN), I had a theory on how Torker's system worked month-by-month. At the time, however, I overlooked a few details and couldn't make all the number fit my theory.
I didn't make this list Hellmutt did with the help of all the other member mentioned bellow, i'm just reposting this because the original got deleted, i'm not an expert on haro bikes- dont pm me please post a threand in the name it section if you need help with your serial numbers and post pictures of the bike if you need help finding the model name
DOMPHIPPSIO Im adding this link as i have probably now collated the most up to date list of the US Made Haro models (Freestyler, Sport and Master) on my site. We try and sweep up any new serials via the forums and ebay each week and have had a lot of help from people rght here in the museum. For that i say a big thanks:

Haro Serial Numbers
**************************************************************************
If ANYONE has clear serial number pics they would like to donate to this thread, please PM me! Would like to get as many examples as possible to help everyone out and show the little differences!
**************************************************************************
This list is by no means complete! Hobbes12 asked for a Haro serial list from me months ago and if I don’t at least post this now, nothing will ever get posted!
Please be patient, I will be editing for an easier read the rest of the day as well as adding info from now on.
First and most importantly, ANY serial number on ANY Haro (just about any manufacturer for that matter) can only tell you the date the frame was manufactured and does not always reflect the actual model year the bike was sold under. Model year depends on frame style, color, features, parts, etc.
PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND!!
For anyone confusing an actual Freestyler model Haro with a Master, PLEASE review the pics in the museum here or on affiliate sites.
Also keep in mind that there are many twin top tube frames out there from other companies that can be confused with a Freestyler
1983-84 Information below provided by BRIAN P
http://www.bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6727
Chip @ C4 Labs has provided some very good info!! Apparently ALL of the Freestylers in the museum listed as 1982 models are in fact 83's. I will edit them in the near future.
More good info from Chip @ C4 Labs: 'The only 1982 Haro's in collector's hands are TXX 0154 F, TXX 0156 F, TXX 0245 F, and now ZT 0019 F that I own. Yes, all the 1982 Freestylers listed in the museum are actually 83's. There are several key manufacturing updates they made from '82-'83 but no one had one to compare until a year ago, and the serial #'s were just decoded a few years ago.'
Chip will be providing the rest of the much needed info some time here in the future for everyone to benefit from Thanks again Chip!

2000+ Serial Numbers:
Serial number will contain a model abbreviation and year/month within the first 5 or so digits.
Year codes interchange month/year, year/month with no blatantly discernable pattern.
As an example you could possibly have 2 of the same exact bikes, we’ll use an 03 Function 3 (F3) for example
One serial could read - F3W3
While the other could read - F33W
No difference, same year same model just an oddity seen in the later serials.
