Thanks for your help on this. I sill can’t believe the dealers cant decode the VIN#.
I finally caught up with a buddy of mine who was a sled tech and he told me to track down the tag
On the wire harness as it also was the mfd on it date is 7-96 so I was right it a 97
Thanks
Joe

Wait just one minute. If I read that right You just got this sled with no registration and all the stickers were removed by "somebody" who never registered it and it doesn't have the right # of #'s in the VIN # for the year it should be???
Does that sound bad to anyone else? :wtf:

One of my old legally aquired sleds had a mistake on the VIN # (from the factory) and that was a nightmare getting that cleared up. I had to get a rubbing off the tunnel and fax that from the dealer to the DMV (twice) before they decided MY sled wasn't stolen...
I have learned to Always get the registration and double check those #'s

Good Luck
I hope you have the name of the "somebody" you got it from, You might need it..
