    Ron,
    That G most likely is a 6, be sure that when you change the plates over to AZ. the numbers match what your insurance company has. I had a problem both when I reg. it in Calif. ad again in Az. , the I in my #'s the insurance listed as an lower case L (l) instead if the I. what a mess-up it causes there.

    The vin on my 50 is 5HPF ****** So I agree with the 6 rather than the G.
