How can I tell if my 1999 bike has the "i" basket?

Can it be confirmed without pulling it apart? Is there a big "i" stamped someplace?

You have to take a look at the part.

If it ain't screaming I wouldn't worry about it.

My '99 RSV ain't never whined even a little bit.

Same with my 02 RSMV, never had any issues either after 180,000 plus miles, but I maintain this bike meticulously.
