You may want those frame stickers.

I’m sure I can find somewhere, the ones on there are barley legible
Aside from the frame, there isn’t anything left to match up on there anyway.

Real question: Do you NEED to keep the stickers? Isn't the VIN stamped in the frame? I took the stickers off my last Monster and would take them off my current one as well.

Vin is stamped, I usually remove them as well. The info no longer applies. Not a monster motor, front and rear suspension is no longer stock, motor is no longer stock, electronics, brakes, controls are no longer stock either. For customers I put them back if it’s a custom job vs heavily modded

The pistons JE are of good quality, I have mounted on several engines and nothing to say to date.

By cons for mounting control that the squish is at least 1.1mm because they compress very strong (between 11.5 / 1 and 11.9 / 1 for those I have mounted).

For the squish valves / piston this goes without problem.

Then you will have to inject a new map into your calculator (I can provide it to you if you need it).

And after enjoy chug

Hook a dude up, ready and willing

I remove the stickers but don't obliterate them, and put them in with the bike paperwork.
