motorman587 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Can someone from California help this guy out??

I have separate frame on my motorcycles no frame number only a blue/silver sticker of the State of California department of motor Vehicles. Assigned Identification Number: CA 746,345, Control No.:225 345 you can say what should that is to me. Wanted to know it in that which policy department stations was. Link to comment
upflying Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 John, that blue sticker is issued by the DMV to a vehicle that has a missing VIN. Reasons for missing VIN usually means the vehicle was stolen and then recovered without a VIN. DMV assigns a new identification number to the vehicle so it can be registered and legally owned by someone. I'll see if I can find a link to the blue tag. Can you take a photo of the sticker on that KZ1000P? Section 4166 CVC explains the law. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d03/vc4166.htm Here is a photo of what it looks like. This sticker was on the door jamb of a late 80's Ford Mustang that was stolen and then recovered without a VIN on the left side of the dash. The numbers can be checked through any LEO data base for ownership information. Link to comment
JR356 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Colud also be that the bike had frame damage and frame was replaced at some point. JR356 Link to comment

For example, aftermarket frames are available to clone a Harley Davidson. These frames come with their own VIN and Certificate or Origin. These cloned motorcycles are then known as a "special construction" when they are registered at Calif DMV. Link to comment
motorman587 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Bob, Will see if I can get a picture. John Link to comment
JR356 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Remember past post somewhere about a factory replacement BMW frame,did not come with a SN from the factory.In CA this would likely have to be registered as an assembled MC unless you brought in the old damaged frame as proof of change,even then it would probably get a blue tag. On an old KZ1000 that was probably thrashed early and often,all bets are off! JR356 Link to comment
