They tend to be like steering a small barge at slow speeds but at 70 they're like gyroscopes. They balance so sweet and just hum along. BTW if you want to post a pic look in the Forum for instructions or ask almost any other member. I'm kinda pic-challenged myself.

vin number is on the neck. if a dealer does the work, they are supposed to center punch a dot above the number. Doesn't always happen, so probably best to call yami and have them check the records...

Is it a sticker, or is there a metal plate?

I found it. No punch mark. Is there someplace I can call, or on-line, where I can check? Thank you.

I bought mine brand spanking new and dropped it 3 days later. So you're not alone.

looks like you found the VIN number. This should show what to look for.

Okay... I've got the VIN written down. Just wondering how I can find out if the work has been done or not.


Edit: I just went back out and took another look. There IS a punch mark, but man, is it ever faint and shallow... Yeesh...
