Does anyone know where the 800 engine number is located? My dmv needs to see the vin in 2 places as well as the engine number ( NM is getting strict). I see the vin on the tag as well as stamped in the frame. Any help on the engine number? Thanks
time to get down and look on the engine
I don't have an 800, but this is where it is on the 1500... if you find it in a different location please take a pic and let me know so I can add it to the location info on the website.

I just ran into this problem, so I know this won't help the original person who asked the question, but maybe it will help someone else.
I have a 2000 Drifter (800cc). My engine number is on the right side (if sitting on the bike). Aft of the floorboard. Hidden by the exhaust pipe and frame, mounted on the engine and facing straight out toward the frame. It is 13 letters & numbers about 1/4 inch tall. Mine started with VN800AE...followed by six numbers. It took a mirror and flashlight to discover it. My VIN label and engraved frame number where also difficult for me to find, as the former owner had covered the label with black tape so that it would not be an eyesore (white label on black frame) behind the headlight.
For anybody interested, the post "800 VIN Countdown" contains an explanation of the structure of the VIN and how to read it.
