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.

[Pinion]

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

Thank god for the geisers of old school hot rodding
Oh the tricks they know, like how to seal bare steel and save patina

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 

Hook a dude up, ready and willing

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