1981 R80 G/S VIN LOCATION
Trying to sell my beast and cannot find the 17 digits stamped anywhere on the frame. The engine and frame 7 digit serial number match, but that is where it ends. There is a corroded silver sticker with a grid pattern on frame tube under right cylinder, I suspect that may have been where that number was but it is long covered by corrosion. I imagine it was readable at some point since there is a 17 digit VIN on the title I got in 2008 here in NM.
Any thoughts or ideas? Is there anywhere else I haven't looked? There is nothing on either side of that sticker, I hear sometimes the vin was stamped there (snowbum and interested buyer).
Thanks!!!

Probably the worst place ever to place that thing.

You can get an official document from BMW about your bike's VIN from BMW's Classic Group, but it costs 125€, and you will probably still have difficulty with your DMV.
