Brian060 Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 I suggest a hacksaw, find a good welder, and some good paint if you catch what I'm sayin 379866[/snapback] WORD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 they would sand off the PC to find the number. ive done it before. 380480[/snapback] It wouldn't take too much to gring it down. But I know they have some way of reading ground off Vins. It has something to do with the way the stamping stresses the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 I would go ahead and get another frame and start swaping out the parts, it will suck if this comes around later, or show up unexpected and they have a complete bike to take.

racer Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 It has something to do with the way the stamping stresses the metal. 380583[/snapback] exactly. i believe they X-ray it to determine the characters. because where the stamps hit the metal it is denser than the surrounding material.

Iexpedite1 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Don't tell me you people think they are going to send a frame to some sort of a forensics lab to verify it is their bike. Some bank clown is going to show up take it try and sale it and then thats it. Nobody is going to x-ray it in the hopes of reading the VIN. You could then say hey this is the bike he sold me. You should go back to him if this isn't the one you are looking for. X-ray the frame you must be kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondeeeznuts Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 did you at least get a bill of sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 what if i had the frame powder coated so the vin was covered? and then said i sold it? 380406[/snapback] If they happen to get a search warrant for your house, and anyone elses house that may be hiding the bike, when they find it, out comes the acid to etch the powder off the frame. They will find the vin number. (My dad saw this done back in the 60's on a stolen car his uncle had. Wasn't powder coat, but it took off what ever they had put on the frame to hide #'s) Personally I wouldn't try to hide shit. Take all of your parts off because they will take them with the frame. When a house gets reposessed they don't say "Oh, go ahead and pack up all of your stuff." Fuck no, they put locks on all the doors, and these little red tabs. If you break one of those tabs you're ass is going to jail. They don't give a fuck, they are just there to do their job. They don't and can't take personal feelings into the matter. The matter is a stolen frame. They need it back. They will take it back wether or not your parts, or even you, are on that frame. Go buy some good tools and get to work.

97banshee350 Posted June 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 i payed around 300 for that frame if they come and take it im sueing the shit out of the company that sold it to me on ebay or soemone is getting there ass kicked. but i already started taken it apart. my dad called the place that sold me the frame and they never answered, he left a massage the secound tiem telling them thats its importen they call him back. if they do end up wanting it, would they come to my house and just break the lock off my shed to get it?

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 You could always run a nice deep bead of weld right over that vin number, grind it smooth and then pc it. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
