Since the VIN# is stamped on the frame of the bike, is there any good reason not to break out the hair dryer and remove the VIN# sticker on the frame? It is an eyesore to me whenI am customizing a bike to have any visable stickers and I can't see any reason to keep it. Legally, I would guess that all you need to have is the VIN# stamp on the frame...Anyone have any feedback on this?

 

Mine is gone,see no reason for it.

Good Luck

Thought about removing that sticker myself...along with the "not a gas cap" decal on the fuel guage.

 

Only reason I see for keeping it is to make it easier for LEOs and the dealer to read. Other than that, I see no reason to keep it. I am planning on removing mine and, using an electronic label maker, creating another and placing it under the passenger pillion, close to the rider seat, for reference purposes.

I heard form dealer service manager that the vin is supposed to be on 3 palces. Said I could get a ticket for removing sticker. Dont make much since to me as it is stamped into the frame. If you could take it off with out fkn it up mount it on the frame under the moter where it is not visable, then you could say it is on the bike??????[8D]

 

I guess I should get rid of mine. The prior owner started to peel it off, but never finished. Hmmm, that will be done soon.

 

Been retired about 7 years and haven't worked auto theft for at least ten so my info may be incorrect but I believe that's referred to as the federal sticker and , in Ohio, it's not supposed to be removed... You may be giving a state trooper an excuse to impound your bike.. If you own, say a newer Mustang, and you remove the vin sticker on the trunk deck, or hood, or fenders, it's illegal and you subject your vehicle to impound for investigation. I'm not sure but I think the same would apply to the federal VIN sticker on your bike..

 

i beleive your corect

 

if you go to sturgis there are at least 4 cops stationed by the baricades at each main st. intersection. that sticker is what they look for. no sticker you may get stopped.

 

I see you haven't forgotten a thing
