Where is the Vin located on a Polaris Sportsman 500 year 1998-2000?

Stamped on left side of frame inside left wheel well.

I dont know who answered this but on 96 and earlier the vins are on a tag welded to the right hand down tubein the front fender well and could verry well only be 7 digits and if the bmv give you grief tell them to get their info straight.
