NYUK Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 they can mask it. a thin strip of high heat tape. then remove it before you get it cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertdeweller Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 some states require the vin or they will impound your bike with plenty of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 you can still see it.. dont worry about it depends what color type and thickness of powder, some cover it completely. some it shows through. the only way to be sure is to mask it .

wacko2000 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Okay well what if the numbers are gone, like powdercoated over or wateva, i heard that you can get it restamped, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 never heard of this.they are lazered or dot matrixed. you can restamp it yourself with letter and number punches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosBanshee44 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I don't even have a number on my frame though i did buy it off ebay. Now the frame i had when it was stock is at Kiels house in Wyoming so i'm sure my title and paperwork says that same number on it but matches the number on the motor.
