Not dodgy if they haven't been welded over or ground off. New spare frames from Honda did not have numbers, the dealer that replaced the frame should have stamped it with the numbers from the frame it replaced (bent or otherwise damaged) The same was true of replacement crankcase sets, and a lot of early 750s needed them due to damage from broken drive chain. I bought a newly frame for £90 from D.S. more then 20 years ago, got it stamped by a dealer for £10. Also bought crankcases, but sold them for 3 times what I paid for them, again no numbers. If you do buy it, you can get them stamped, stops any hassle from plod, and deter thieves!Sent from my X6pro using Tapatalk
Welcome to the forum Geoff. I love your list of Brit Bikes, I would be a very happy bunny having any of them indoors. Just out of interest, how has the K1 been MOT'd in the past with no numbers, is it a UK or USA bike?.
Welcome ..I didn't know correct Honda Font stamps were available outside use in the factory but I may be wrong.I have a CB250K0 frame which is unstamped and I have the V5C for it in my name for it plus a NOS set of blank CB250K0 crankcases, so theoretically, I could build an engine using those cases and put it in the unstamped frame with the V5C and it would be perfectly legitimate. I suppose an MOT man would insist on me stamping at least the frame but they wouldn't be bothered about the font style. However your K1 is always going to be a 'bitsa' and this will reflect in it's value. K1's have risen in value a lot over the past few years but buyers of K0/K1's are often very fussy about matching numbers etc. As a guestimate I would knock 15-20% off the 'normal' matching no's price in similar condition for it and if he wants full value I would walk away. UK vs USA bike prices are also a lot different for 750 K0/K1's ....... UK bikes are rare and command a higher price.My mate is into collecting Brit bikes and would probably be interested in the Tiger Cub if you are selling it,

I don't know how it's been MOT'd - I'm speaking to the owner tonight & that's one of my questions but the V5 carries the numbers & if it's anything like my local MOT station it could have been done of the last MOT certificate!!!!
