My Spyder has burnt, the sticker on swing arm is gone. Insurance won't pay until they can identify it thru VIN. Does anyone know if it is stamped on main frame anywhere as bike is a totally burnt. Caught fire while I was riding it.

According to my operator's guide, the VIN is stamped on the lower frame. The illustration indicates it is behind the right front wheel.

Sorry to hear about your lose.

There is an EIN# stamped on the engine, too. Sorry, I don't remember where. Some states also require inspection of the engine # to title the vehicle.

Update: OK, I did a little quick research and came up with this.

VIN# - on the swing arm and under the lower front right A-frame.
EIN# engine Identification number - near the left rear engine mount, under the exhaust mount

Hope this helps!
