    Replacement frame tag

    by mxsnow » Tue Aug 29, 2017 8:24 am

    Does anybody know if I can get the tag that goes on the right frame spar and say Honda motor corp 2007? It came off of my 2007 450 and I want to replace it.

    Bike Bandit sells many of the OEM stickers and labels. Worth a try - Other than them I would say maybe an email to Honda Motor Co, LTD ?

    Tried all of them,no luck,might have to try Honda. It is no big deal to me if I end up keeping the bike but a potential buyer mentioned it,that and no title. Might keep it and sell my KX450.

    Welcome to the site !! \:D/

    That tag just is a easy way to know the year of the bike , the 10th digit in the Vin # is the year of the bike , so if the 10th digit is a 7 then its a 07 , simple as that , you mention not having a Title , if you bought it that way , the reasoning could be that it was not paid for and they were trying to hide its identity by thinking that if they remove the sticker , no one would know its a"wanted" bike ........*this is speculation on my part as i know nothing of the sale or situation surrounding it* , in my state you can't buy a vehicle or register it without a title or MSO Certificate (Manufacturer's Statement of Origin) , it can only be sold for "parts" and never be used as a complete bike

    So before you get in over your head , i would suggest you write down the Vin # located on the Steering Stem of the frame on the right side , and call your local Motor Vehicle Department and give them the Vin # and have them check to see if it does have a clear title and you will be much better off in the long run , especially if you decide to sell it in the future , it just makes you the good guy in this and saves you a lot of heartache in the long run.....

    Not saying you did anything wrong , but lots of people get told "stories" on why there is no title and accept the seller to be honest and end up in a legal battle or getting a visit from the local authorities and end up losing the bike and anything you have installed on it , as they will not let you remove anything from it if they are taking it , which would suck for you , if there is a legitimate reason for no title i would still get it just for your own well being , if the bike is ever stolen from you , you would have no recourse without a title ;) ,

    I wont worry about the frame tag,ran the VIN and its clear,no worries there except paying the state money to replace it. I might sell my 07 KX450 and keep the Honda,I have a title for the Kaw,but also a lot of work done to it.

    As long as the Vin # is legible , then you should be fine , the "tag" is only for public identification , so you can walk up to a bike and go , Oh ! that's a 07 CRF450R , etc. , i think Honda is the only company that has it , if it was mandatory , then all bikes would be required to have it in plain view and it would have bike specific numbers or I.D. stamps or something pertinent to registration requirements
