VIN on a GS450L question

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I picked up a GS450L to resell a month ago and just hit a snag. The VIN stamped on the steering head says: NCMS 70982. Does anybody recognize this? It registered in Vermont just fine but the lady's insurance company says it's not a good VIN. Even an old Suzuki dealer with a book of model designation and their associated VINs can't find it.
She, the dealer, did say that the VIN should be stamped somewhere else on the frame but I can't find it for the life of me. Any ideas out there? Thanks, Bob

On my GS400L (same vintage) there is both a label, and the stamped VIN on the steering head. The label matches the stamp.

Maybe a restamped vin from police??? What does the title say?

The VIN-number should start with GS450A-B (1980/81/82) or GL51D (1983/84/84/86/87) and is stamped in the steering head. There also should be a metal label, rivetted on the steering head, with the same number.
I don't believe that you can find it anywhere else on the frame.
