VIN # Plate for 84 Cali II ??

Hello - this is just a quick question to ask if a Cali II normally has a VIN # Plate on the headstock? Mine only has the VIN # stamped in this area. Also, the number stamped on the engine block is a different number. Possibly I have a machine built from many 'used' parts?  :undecided:

Thanks in advance for any help with this question.

Cheers,
Peter

thanks for the quick reply ... my Cali II was brought over from Germany about 7 years ago. Maybe that is why there is no VIN # Plate on the frame.

I think Harpers has vin plates if you need one. The new to me 82 Monza was titled with the serial number stamped into the headstock. I *think* Guzzi may have done that in the past. It can cause a bureaucrat at the DMV to have bowel spasms. Just sayin..

Mine has a Vin plate but I think if it is stamped in a fairly decent fashion it probably came that way.
Perhaps it depends on the intended market?

The new to me Lario of the same era is stamped I'm told.

Welcome to the club, Roy.. :smiley: Mine has the traditional serial number stamped on the headstock, and a VIN plate.

You know the drill.. pix or it never happened.  :popcorn:
