So, I call my local HD service dept to have them run the VIN on the S2 I bought a couple weeks ago to see what recalls were ever done on the bike. They couldn't find the # in their system. I pulled the title and read them the # straight off it...it was the same as I had already given them. I even then checked the VIN plate on the bike to make sure it was right...it was.

My S2 is #557 and was wondering if anyone else has had this experience where the dealer can't find the VIN.

Anyone...

There was a VIN recall in 1995.

Check NHTSA website.

I remember reading about the VIN recall; maybe that's it. Funny, when I did a vin check on it before going to get it, everything checked out.
