• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hi, my insurance wants to see the Vin number stamp, any ideas where it will be? 2015 RT

Hi, my insurance wants more than the Vin sticker, they want to see the stamp! The instruction PDF points to an area around the nearside wheel, and the video on youtube points to a steel square inside the offside wheel area, and it's just past that, but mine has no square bit of steel! The PDF is showing a much newer model, but I can't see it, mine is a 2015, any ideas where it will be?
thanks for the help, Jock
 
I checked both the 2014 and 2024 Operators Guide, and both say that the VIN is stamped on the lower frame on the right side.
There's a diagram of the location in the Operators Guide in the Vehicle Identification section.
 
The VIN stamped in frame is somewhat difficult to see because it was stamped on the frame and then the frame was painted. The first thumbnail shows where the frame is stamped. The second is the stamped VIN on my 2014 RT-S.

The manual says it is on the left side swing arm. It is probably painted over. It is also on the title and the bill of sale. Show them the bill of sale, or ride it to the office and tell them to look for themselves.

The insurance companies in Florida can get it from the state registration papers over the web.
 
I would think that showing the owners manual section of the location of VIN on left side swing arm would be sufficient for the insurance to be confident that it is accurate and not something someone just stuck on.

Thread 'For newbies.. How to find the frame stamped VIN on your "new" 1330cc Spyder'

So you just bought your new (to you) dream Spyder and need to title it in California, or another state that requires verification of both the VIN number stamped into the frame AND the swing arm VIN label, or possibly just the frame VIN to be verified, along with the engine ID.

I was finally able to locate the frame stamped VIN on my 2015 F3S with the help of Jay Brosnan who found the frame VIN plate on his early RT. The location is the same for both F3 and RT. He described where to look and what it looked like in, detail through, some email exchanges. Thanks Jay!

How to find the...
 
Thanks to all for the great help, I have never had an insurance company ask for this, I now have taken the photo's you have sent me, and I will set about trying to find it, if I can't, I will use a 2nd company, and Thanks again for the help, Jock.
 
I'm lucky, my 2018 F3-T has 66K on it so just had to take picture of odometer and registration for VIN.
