Ha, they didn`t take it serious on my bike...

 

Thanks for the welcome GRB - I'll go post a "G'day" in the newbie section now...

 

You can still find the emissions decals, nos, if you have the part number. The vin tag has embossed lettering, that's the tough part. You can have a decal shop make you a vin sticker, but I haven't found anyone that can emboss the letters, just printed.

 

The factory used a typewriter on our Sportster.

 

Was probably done on a machine like this...I worked at an electric motor rebuild shop that had one...places also use them to make pet tags.

 

Damn, wish I had one of those big enough to take my Bonneville frame - the bike would be on the road in no time...
