I have no horse in this race but my sticker is the same as the ops, readable from the left on a 78 LTD with the frame number stamped underneath the sticker. Surely if the sticker was read from the right then the sticker and stamped number would not be readable from the same side?

Edit to add pic for clarity..

I fixed your picture

The only horse in the game any of us have is helping members get good information so they can make informed decisions on how to continue with their builds be it a full nut and bolt concourse restoration. Or just a mechanical restoration to get and keep these older bikes on the road. Here are three of my known factory untouched vin stickers.

This might need input from members with more knowledge. I just located pictures of a 1978 Ltd frame I purchased about 4 months ago, and sent out to powder coat just before shutdown. I haven’t contacted the vender yet nor have they researched out to me for an update. Nonetheless the vin sticker is readable from the left. The originality of this sticker is Unkown to me but it’s “original” looking enough to raise questions.

AFAIK orginal VIN Stickers should have round Corners.

Here is my 1980 KZ 1000, photo from the left side as you are seated on the bike. Also, one of my Z1B's photo from the left side. Lastly, a KZ550 photo from the left side. I still have a couple to check. My second Z1B and my 2008 KLR.

I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
