V5 Advice!
mike the bike:
What's the state of the original frame; is it scrap or is it viable as a frame? If it's scrap then I would cut the number off the headstock and weld it onto the new frame.
If the old frame is still viable, then technically you'll be issued with a new number as you can't have two bikes (potentially ) with the same number.
Seabeowner:
Do you know if/when it was MoTd as a chopper? If you've no info check the reg on the DVLA site. I have seen some pretty dodgy restamped frames go through MoTs, but yours is bound to attract special attention.
According to the DVLA to change engine numbers they ask for dealer paperwork, but once "Historic" I'm hoping mine will go through. It's not an MoT issue.
totty:
I've done an engine number change recently. As I didn't have a receipt for it I needed a letter from a garage confirming the engine number and the number of the frame it was fitted to. However they DVLA can ask to inspect it or ask for an engineers report - in your case I'd be reluctant to risk it.

Thanks for all the help guys!
I have the frame on the V5 and its fine. I'm thinking the best I can hope for us trying to get the engine number changed and then getting a vin plate made up.
royhall:
If i'm reading this correctly, you have a custom bike without a frame number and another 750 frame with a V5...... For paperwork reasons these are totally different vehicles as the engine number does not really matter for V5 purposes....... If your feeling a bit cheeky, you could get a 750 Vin plate made up with the other frames number and rivet it to the headstock of the custom then destroy the 750 frame (grind off the frame number). Change the V5 into your name and put it on SORN, you can then change the engine number at will later.......... For heavens sake don't try to sell the 750 frame afterwards as a policeman will come........ All this is of course very illegal and I would have nothing to do with such an idea ever, honest officer......... I think the above dastardly deed is called Ringing.
