The number on the engine is CA77E-1017975, but I cannot find any numbers on the frame. Where should they be located?

Also, look at the bottom of the spring on the brake light. Mine is just behind that. They are hard to find. See this older post where I added photos.

Thanks Jim, but I had found it with Waveblasters info. But those pics will come in handy for others. They sure did hide that serial #. I would say that the numbers on the engine is what is used for the vin # since it is much more visible.

In NJ the numbers on the frame are what is used on the title. Yeah, I figured that if anything... they should help someone else find their number as well.

Most states use the FRAME number whether it is easy to see/find or not.
Engines are easy to swap and frames are most of the bike. .......lm
