the blue tape is where the vin is

I've only got 2 banshee a 97 and 95 and it's on the side of both.

The Vin is on the side of the frame in front of the foot peg. If it's covered it's obvious. In my garage from 5' away I can see the vin, not read it but see it, and that's with limited lighting.

The Vin is visible from several feet away if it's not there you have a violation. A race car with a custom frame is far different from a mass produced atv. No grey area. It's spelled out and some still don't get it.

VEHICLE CODE SECTION 10750-10752 10750. (a) No person shall intentionally deface, destroy, or alter the motor number, other distinguishing number, or identification mark of a vehicle required or employed for registration purposes without written authorization from the department, nor shall any person place or stamp any serial, motor, or other number or mark upon a vehicle, except one assigned thereto by the department.

(a) No person shall knowingly buy, sell, offer for sale, receive, or have in his or her possession, any vehicle, or component part thereof, from which any serial or identification number, including, but not limited to, any number used for registration purposes, that is affixed by the manufacturer to the vehicle or component part, in whatever manner deemed proper by the manufacturer, has been removed, defaced, altered, or destroyed, unless the vehicle or component part has attached thereto an identification number assigned or approved by the department in lieu of the manufacturer's number.

No court order providing for disposition shall be issued unless the person from whom the property was seized, and all claimants to the property whose interest or title is on registration records in the Department of Motor Vehicles, are provided a postseizure hearing by the court having jurisdiction within 90 days after the seizure. This subdivision shall not apply with respect to a seized vehicle or component part used as evidence in any criminal action or proceeding.

Justia › US Law › US Codes and Statutes › US Constitution › Fourth Amendment--Search and Seizure ›"Plain View" "Plain View" 'Plain View'.—Somewhat similar in rationale is the rule that objects falling in the 'plain view' of an officer who has a right to be in the position to have that view are subject to seizure without a warrant293 or that if the officer needs a warrant or probable cause to search and seize his lawful observation will provide grounds therefor.294 The plain view doctrine is limited, however, by the probable cause requirement: officers must have probable cause to believe that items in plain view are contraband before they may search or seize them.295 293 Washington v. Chrisman, 455 U.S. 1(1982) (officer lawfully in dorm room may seize marijuana seeds and pipe in open view); United States v. Santana, 427 U.S. 38(1976) ('plain view' justification for officers to enter home to arrest after observing defendant standing in open doorway); Harris v. United States, 390 U.S. 234 (1968) (officer who opened door of impounded automobile and saw evidence in plain view properly seized it); Ker v. California, 374 U.S. 23(1963) (officers entered premises without warrant to make arrest because of exigent circumstances seized evidence in plain sight). Cf. Coolidge v. New Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 464-73 (1971), and id. at 510 (Justice White dissenting). Maryland v. Buie,494 U.S. 325 (1990) (items seized in plain view during protective sweep of home incident to arrest); Texas v. Brown, 460 U.S. 730 (1983) (contraband on car seat in plain view of officer who had stopped car and asked for driver's license); New York v. Class,475 U.S. 106 (1986) (evidence seen while looking for vehicle identification number). There is no requirement that the discovery of evidence in plain view must be 'inadvertent.'See Horton v. California, 496 U.S. 128 (1990) (in spite of Amendment's particularity requirement, officers with warrant to search for proceeds of robbery may seize weaponsof robbery in plain view). 294 Steele v. United States, 267 U.S. 498(1925) (officers observed contraband in view through open doorway; had probable cause to procure warrant). Cf. Taylor v. United States, 286 U.S. 1 (1932) (officers observed contraband in plain view in garage, warrantless entry to seize was unconstitutional). 295 Arizona v. Hicks, 480 U.S. 321 (1987) (police lawfully in apartment to investigate shooting lacked probable cause to inspect expensive stereo equipment to record serial numbers). The Court has analogized from the plain view doctrine to hold that once officers have lawfully observed contraband, "the owner's privacy interest in that item is lost," and officers may reseal a container, trace its path through a controlled delivery, and seize and reopen the container without a warrant.296 296 Illinois v. Andreas, 463 U.S. 765, 771(1983) (locker customs agents had opened, and which was subsequently traced). Accord, United States v. Jacobsen, 466 U.S. 109(1984) (inspection of package opened by private freight carrier who notified drug agents).

If it was an open trailer he could have seen the Vin was not visible and you don't need a stolen report to impound it for no vin. However this is in CA I don't know if it's different where he lives.

You do realize removing the Vin is illegal right. Hard to prove ownership when you do it even if unintentionally. The cop was within the law to impound. Try and stop that and you will end up in jail. He was doing his job.

Would also like to know why go back to ported stock cylinders?

If the officer ran the engine number it should have returned to that frame. I can see why it was impounded if the Vin was not readable though. Good luck getting it back and the sooner the better impound fees go up daily.

Is it registered as a off highway vehicle? If so the engine number should be in the system with that vin.

That sucks

Muriatic acid can bring the Vin back sometimes, you can start with diluted. If you can't bring the Vin back it would get destroyed in California. Just the frame though not everything else. And this is just the way CHP does it here.

Is it possible to clean up the Vin or is it gone.

Pro mod ^

Send it back to redline and do a promo set up.

Get a bolt with a similar size head and double nut it.

Trinity is closed so hopefully the plug locks will disappear. 9003 good luck defending your lock when your set up was messed up. Post a picture of your bike so I know who you are, I go to Glamis a lot.

So this is LSR and not Laeger? If done could you get say a +4 swingarm, no nerf mounts, or air box. A dune version. Also for that price would it include tie rods and spindles. And to use a 88 250r platform wouldn't be as good as the new yfz450r set up. The price isn't outrageous and I was thinking a 10 mill serval dune build.

It does seem like a lot of work for a limited number.

Post specifics OT has been good and this would be awesome. Too bad it couldn't be the yfz450r set up.

Contact toomey lifetime warranty, I got a new head pipe from them last year. Bottom tab came off and left a hole.

There's probably air in the master cylinder. Unbolt it, flip it upside down and remove snap ring at the bottom. When fluid starts to escape put it back together and bleed it.

Take a picture of your filters and post it. Cascade sells sleeves that won't mess the filters up.

Wow 71hp ouch. If your using reed spacers take them off and use the angled pods. If it's still tight put the heat sleeves on the stinger pipes. The upp intakes also tighten things up.
