Thanks in advance for the board's help. I recently took ownership (sight unseen) of a 1975 R90S/6 (daytona orange) that originated from out of state (outside of California). I purchased it from a reputable person and bike collector, the bike is basically original, none of the nicks/scratches have ever been touched-up. Regardless, I took the motorcycle to the local DMV to have the bike inspected but they would not sign off on the title/registration transfer as they could NOT find a stamped VIN anywhere on the motorcycle (nor could I) with the exception of the number found on the ENGINE casing. THAT EXACT NUMBER is found on the originating state's title as the VIN number but they wouldn't take that as proof, they wanted to see the number on the motorycle frame and not just the motor. As previously mentioned, I have an appointment with the DMV next week, but would love to have some sort of help, suggestions, direction as to the situation on hand before appearing before them. The DMV used a "NATB" book which said that ALL 1972 and newer bike's VIN numbers could be found on the steering stem.....if the Highway Patrol uses the same I'm afraid that there might be no way to get this bike registered.
No, there are no VIN style stickers anywhere on the bike to reference.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
