VIN numbers on frame help   Printable Version Harley Davidson >> General Harley Davidson Tech Forums >> Frame/Suspension/Front End/Wheels/Tires/Brakes >> VIN numbers on frame help Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> VIN numbers on frame help - 5/11/2008 8:08:39 PM    BUD 69   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/11/2008 Status: offline Can anyone help? I have purchased a 69' sportster on ebay, and I have a clear MI title {I am in KY}. I have the bike completly tore appart, and noticed that there are no numbers on the stock frame. I looked closer and there are NO scratches or grinder marks. In fact I could be wrong but the frame paint looks factory. I cannot find any rivet holes to put a non existent metal plate on. Now that I am close to going back together and need an out of state inspection from the license branch, I'm a little concerned. Any suggestions???

Try to get a steel letter stamp set and beat it out ont the neck. A steel straight edge helps, if you can find a way to keep it from moving.  Go practice on some pipe. _____Oh you could look into purchasing an after market custom frame, the frame will be stamped and your papers will come with the frame.  Good luck.  Aren't the papers called MSO?
