Sometimes the neck located info is lost incident to powder coating.

Good Luck! :)

Perhaps a damaged frame was replaced with a new replacement frame.

Good Luck! :)

For example, checking with kawasaki.com gives the part number for a replacement frame, which is no longer available from the factory.

But when it was available, I believe it would have arrived without a vin number.

Part Number Add to Picklist (Qty):
Description: FRAME-COMP,US
Package Quantity: 1
Item Status Code: Canceled


Good Luck! :)

The Certificate of Title, tag registration, or other ownership papers, may include the original vin if needed to stamp into the frame.

Good Luck! :)

Each state is different when numbering replacement frames and cases...and each state has a different numbering series. It may be difficult to get your state to reissue a number that has already been issued (the original frame VIN...you are going to need proof that the original frame was destroyed)...do you have the title? In rare circumstances, when the original frame VIN is destroyed, and not reissued, the state will use the motor VIN as the registered VIN (ordinarily it is not recorded). There is a fellow who visits the Z1/Z900 owners group on Multiply.com who claims to be able to repro the head stickers but he may be a bit 'fringe' as I've not been able to see any results.
