SNTBANSHEE Posted February 7, 2011 Report Posted February 7, 2011 On the frame below the shifter. Quote
dtr7720 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Posted February 7, 2011 On the frame below the shifter. i just searched the entire frame and i cant find jack, i think the frame was powder coated and it covered it up, im trying to get a title for my quad so i can have an easier time selling it if i ever sell it Quote
bansheesrtoys Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 man i went though the same shit with my banshee. It's been powder coated and when they did it they nearly took off the vin number. it was a pain to get the powered coat off because you don't want to sand it away. you need to use paint thinner or somthing to get the powder coat off. even after i got mine clean the BMV lady try to tell me she couldn't read it. only reason they did is because i had a tittle from the prev. owner.and read off the vin to them and agrued how could i have rembered that number.good luck Quote
dtr7720 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Posted February 8, 2011 ok thanks, where exactly is the vin locaded imma go use some paint thinner and try to get it to show Quote
bansheesrtoys Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) it on the shifter side. it ends right about where the bar in front of the motor going down meets the frame, but start about 1/2 inch or so from that on the side of the tube moving to the front of the frame. good luck. oh yeah i know i said paint thinner but man it still fxcking stucked. lol. i ended aslo using some other paint stripper stuff that are bodyshop had. and i used a razor to srcap the top layers off the used and rag to finish.

The problem with that is it will make the vin un reconizable. The vin numbers are not stamped very deep. Almost like a lazer etching. Quote
midlifecrisis Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Like Booker said, its super hard to see, even when you do know where it is. Dont sand blast it clean, maybe use something lighter instead of sand, Im just not sure of the options available? Even then its stamped so lighlty, that it might get damaged. Quote

dtr7720 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Posted February 8, 2011 so idk would the scotch bright of taken it out? Quote
robert0762 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 not the scotch brite prob someone else who didnt want the frame to be identified. So its prob hot Quote
rideSAND Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 are you the original owner? if not i wonder if the previous owner bought a new frame? that would explain the no vin number. Quote
dtr7720 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Posted February 8, 2011 well the guy said if he finds the title hes going to give it to me, and he willingly wrote a bill of sale, and would only sell it to my dad becasue im not 18 or however old you ahve to be to buy a quad Quote
