VIN label is peeling off! How to glue?

[justin caise]

No I'm not asking how one applies glue.. I learnt that in college (collage?)
anyway as the pix shows - after hauling the frame to the u-do-it car wash for a grease removal blasting, I've found that the label with vehicle info on the front of the neck is peeling drastically. What stuff holds 'em on?
Anybody know?


OMG! It's spring already and this is as far I've gotten? Good thing I like to wrench as much as I like to ride...

I just blasted mine off

It was already peeling and I figured I was not going to get a replacement from Bikebandit 8-[.

How much has it delaminated from the backing? Is it just the front, transparent, thin as tissue paper surface?

[justin caise]

It' not just the clear coating or wh?ever.
It' s the foil with the bike info on it delaminating from the backing.

Mine came off a long time ago and I haven't worried about it. All the required info is stamped into the head tube. Don't know the legalities with the law. Ray

what about rubber cement to hold it where you want is and clear coat to keep it there.

I just keep mine with the registration. It IS stamped on the neck so I was never that concerned.

Spray type contact adhesive would probably work best.

Yeah, second that motion. Maskoff all the areas around the decal, them carefully spray the 2 surfaces LIGHTLY with spray adhesive. Wait about 3 minutes, then use a credit card to start sticking the loose portion onto to its backing from the area where its still attached to the opposite edge, working your way out . If you end up with bubbles, prick the middle of the bubble with a pin and use the credit card as a squeegee to get the rest of the air out of the bubble. BTW, if you need to protect the outer surface from being scraped by the card, use a piece of waxed paper between the 2.

Gotta love Uni-strut! You can build anything with that stuff.

I saw some stuff today at the parts store called liquid tape. It was near all the automotive dilly dad's. The liquid seems clear. This might work?

Most manufacturers will be able to supply you with a new sticker to put on your bike. An authorized Suzuki dealer should be able to get you a new sticker with the vin and production date on it. Don't expect it to be free, they cost up to $50.

[phaserburn]

mine came off a while ago. The VIN is stamped on the frame next to the sticker. My bike has been impounded and pulled over, and I never had any problems reguarding the legality of not having a sticker. As long as the officer knows where to look and it matches whatever is on your insurance / reg, they dont care.
