454 LTD VIN Location?

I bought a 454 LTD engine for a project I am working on. The vin # is only 13 characters long instead of 17. Everything else is correct. I am wondering if anyone knows why or if I am looking at the wrong thing. I wanna find out the exact year. Also are

there any options besides OEM for the carbs?

I bought a 1988 Kawasaki Eliminator EL250 and it doesn�t have the side trim pieces

I�ve been looking for the side trim pieces but I can�t find them does anyone know where I can get them? Or maybe a STL for a 3D print? Also where the best place to find parts for this bike? Thank you first time here and this is my first bike as well.
