The letter just gives reference to the VIN#. It's not nessecerily part of it. the VIN# will give you all sorts of info. Year, model, frame production plant, assembly plant, paint color, emissions control options, all sorts of stuff. Even the type of seat, handle bars and carb that came factory on the bike. Without the factory "Service Manual" none of these numbers would mean anything to anyone.
As for ordering parts, I've never had to give a letter designation to order anything. Just tell 'em the year and they know the letter that corresponds to it.
