So I could buy this, steal a complete 550 and basically ring it?

Should be illegal, but we all know that the law is an arse.😖

Or maybe that’s just American law

I agree - often the criminal law does not define what is legal only what is illegal or unlawful.
Then of course there is the minefield of intention & culpabilty.

Post by: Bryanj on February 09, 2024, 01:16:11 PM: As far as i know Honda frames still come with no number, being honest its a rarity to change a frame, from memory only ever done 1

Post by: Matt_Harrington on February 10, 2024, 10:32:12 AM: I suppose I was specifically referring to the Kia on the ebay link. Last time I sold a few Guzzi's, I included the frames (or relevant parts)
