You're certain there is NO numbers on it? They are sometimes difficult to see, but to my knowledge it should be stamped on the right side of the tunnel where it is doubled at the top, just behind the engine, like, just above, and a little back from where you put your right foot. If it's not there, that confounds me, there has to be serial number stamped on it someplace, unless maybe it's a replacement chassis from yamaha? Could explain why it's got a 71 hood, and SL engine!? The original sled might have been damaged. I replaced a chassis on a 71 SS 433 once with a brand new aluminum SR chassis from yamaha! I don't recall any numbers on it, and sure would like to know where that is! G.
