Title: Surely this isn’t legal
Post by: SteveW on August 31, 2022, 10:18:53 AM: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363961200517?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NSqHq3asQJ-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=DvCJAq6nRv6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

What use is this except to pass off one bike as another?

Can't see the headstock getting past a DVLA inspection though! lol

Perfect to use on a stolen bike in the future if the bid shown is genuine..

Post by: MCTID on August 31, 2022, 04:53:45 PM: Mmmm and what about the people on E Bay advertising bike and car parts from Lithuania !

Does E Bay even ask - or check where these parts came from ?

Or how about the Containers filled with 'scrap metal' being exported to Nigeria with a stolen £100,000 Mercedes/Audi/BMW etc hidden underneath the top layer of scrap metal ! Why would anyone export 'scrap metal' from the UK to Nigeria ?

Doesn't anyone in authority ask the 'right questions' any more ?

Post by: SumpMagnet on August 31, 2022, 07:06:04 PM: the only 'legit' reason I can think of for buying that would be to make a custom frame for a project.

The sort of custom build that needs a V5 to get around having to Q plate.
