    Where did you rivet your FFR name plate?

    Where did you all rivet your name plate? Texas doesn't hand out VINs so I don't need to worry about that since the F5R serial number is on the frame. I was thinking about riveting it to the top of the removable cover on the DS footbox so it will be readily visible when you pop the hood. Where did others place it? Any pics to post?

    I wanted to be a bit different, so I put mine on the Breeze radiator cowl piece.

    I put mine on the passenger footbox. IL issues their own VIN plate so I took the FFR plate to an engraver and got the issued number engraved before riveting it in.

    I didn't get an FFR nameplate with my kit in 2001. Is this something they started sending out after that?
