VIN plate

#1 PostAuthor: geraldknight » Sat May 20, 2017 6:42 pm

Does anyone know if any Z1As euro spec were produced with just the frame # stamped on the headstock & no white plate. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Gerald

White sticker is only applied to US bikes confirming they meet US regulations

They weren't very big it could easily have been taken off I don't think people regarded them as being of any significance at the time. How many do you ever see? The American sticker was a bit different as it was a bit more substantial and had the frame number and date of manufacture so they were specific to the bike.
