It's been a while . . .

Greetings Gentlemen!

It seems during my focus on facebook I have lapsed in devoting any time to online forums.

As many of you know I sell a great many "Identity" headstock decals for most models on Ebay. However, they are technically an frame identity tag that Ebay allow. What they don;t allow is VIN tags! Vehicle Identity Number tags which were introduced in 1981.

A Vin Tag : 
 What does a VIN include?

• Check digit: The ninth digit, which is used internally 

• Model year: The tenth digit, which can be a letter or number 

• Plant code: The eleventh digit 

• Serial number: The final six characters, which differentiate the vehicle from others made in the same factory

• World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI): The first three digits of the VIN 
• Vehicle Description Section (VDS): The next five digits, which provide information about the vehicle's body style, engine, and more 

So, Ebay in their infinate wisdom have banned any sales or correspondence about VIN tags, it is also illegal to make a VIN tag in the USA, however, my tags have been, and are, made in England for the last 30 Years.

During those decades I have gleaned a whole lot of frame number information.

But the point of this message is that I have a reasonable amount or work to produce decals (VINS) for bikes after 1981, for the Lawsons,(1000 & 1100) GPZ900rs and a several others. The most recent is for a KZT10A  that was put onto me by members on this forum and who was instantly blocked for all communication by Ebay. So, Dave (???)  your tag is (has) been sitting on my desk for 3 weeks now should you still need it.

Here's hoping that all readers and riders have a Happy and Healthy 2025 

That's interesting Rick. Didn't think ebay would differentiate between the different styles?

Rick if you know Dave's user name here on the forum I can put you in contact via email

It shocked me as well, it's instant! Obviously Ai, it doesn't matter if it's just a photo or the words, I have tried all methods of contact and am blocked immediately

Absolutely you can order directly, I have literally just started to build a website as I figure that what I save in Ebay fees will pay for the site and running of it.

You can order directly from me at : KawaParts@aol.com

Or in the next Month or so you should be able to order from  www.KawasakiH2.com

Yes, It's for an 1100  

  can you let him know please.

Mail sent, I have included you so you have his email in the address bar

Hey Rick, I have purchased several tags from you. Your work is excellent. Just wanted to wish you good luck with your new venture. 

Thanks to Wookie58 for (re)connecting us.  Consequently, 
my KZ1170 will get a brand new VIN sticker!!!

With no clue our Ebay connection had been intentionally severed, I resolved to stop pursuing.

So...shame on ebay for ending our communication, especially without providing an explanation. 
At core this was a vicious slap to the face of freedom that affected me personally, and a disgraceful censorship attack directed at the concept of free trade.

The censorship MUST stop!   🇺🇸
