So the Mattress tag says Do Not Remove but its ok for the consumer to do so BUT the bike tag doesn't say a word about not removing it and it a felony???
What about the sticker on my hairdryer that tells me not to use it in the shower? Can that be removed? Gotta go for now, making toast in my pool.
Find a nice gloss black sticker and cover it up, remove it for an inspection if required.

In case you hadn't noticed the VIN sticker has additional info such as the build date. All vehicles have multiple VIN locations some of which are hidden. All required by regulation. It is a felony to remove/deface them no matter how innocent your intentions are.
If it were against the law to remove the sticker it would state that on the sticker. Check your federal and state statutes.

I got a brilliant idea. Why doesnt everyone remove the VIN tag from the dash of their cage? It's only riveted on. You can explain to the cop the number is stamped on the core support and on the firewall if he wants to check.
See how far that gets you.

The stickers with the VIN and build dates was imposed since the early 70's when Honda sold 69 CB750's as 1970 models. I got some cash back from the class action law suit on that one.
For those riders here that profess to be major bikers, you don't seem to know much about motorcycles and their history.

It is not state law it is federal law which were designed to help identified stolen vehicles. There are also "secret" vin locations so that parts can be traced.
Do want you want as long as you are aware that there may be future problems. What do I know. I'm only a retired leo with a degree in law enforcement technology.
You have a right to remain silent. Anything that you say can a will be held against you---------------

Seriously, I am not trying to be an a$$. But if you are a retired LEO with a degree, why can't you find the actual law?

It sounds like, even if it is against the law all you have to do is say "officer, I repainted my frame." If they made any law that easy to get out of, they wasted EVERYONE'S time and money.
