ginger Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Im trying to get the vin off my new frame, and was wondering if someone can give me a measurement for where it is at, so i ruin as little powder as possible. I know it has a vin, i scored it from travis (infamous) a measurement from another point on the frame would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 It should be right under the motor on the shifter side. If the frame has been PCed though it is probably gone. I'm sure it has been bead blasted right off there and had PC put over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 First digit about 7 1/2" from the front foot peg bolt. Last digit about 4 1/2" from the front foot peg bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The VIN is not engraved into the frame. If you grind your PC off you'll be wasting your time because it won't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha VIN isn't engraved on the frame. If I recall correctly, it's just stamped onto the frame after it is painted. You're not going to find anything by scraping the PC off other than metal.

crustydemon Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Some are stamped a little deeper than others but chances are it's gone. It sucks because here they wont register one without a vin and thats the only way to prove your the rightful owner of the bike if you want to ride in a state orv park or trade it off at a dealership.

hp2000 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 We found my friends after it was powder coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I found a vin on a powdercoated Shee I bought. Turned out it didn't match the title I got with it. LOL. My friend has a vin stamping jig. Took care of that. As mentioned, some are stamped deeper into the metal than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewayz Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Mask off the area as mentioned before then ose some Aircraft Stripper / autozone. Brush on the area and powder will come off. Just protect any other powder/ paint. I blasted the hell out of mine, with straight sand and my vin was still there. Mine may have been stamped deeper,but its worth finding out.
