V5 Advice!
Orcade-Ian:
Have I got this right, you have a V5 with none of the details correct for your chopper - engine, frame or year? Have you managed to get an MOT? If so, what number did he enter into the system, as the number on the frame should tally with his system? It might be easier if the frame is not marked!!!
Changing the engine number used to be straightforward but they might insist on a receipt now. Some Yam V5s don't even list the engine number - my mid 90's XJR12 and VMAX didn't.
Be careful what you tell or ask them, or as others say, you might end up down the SVA and Q reg route. I don't think it's easy to change year without verified dating evidence.

It's currently in parts and nowhere near ready for an MOT. I have the old frame that matches the V5. But the chopper frame has no markings at all. The engine I have does not match the V5.
Looking into it I'd be happy if I can just change the engine number to the correct engine in the chopper frame.

If it's an aftermarket frame with no numbers, you have a whole lot of aggro ahead of you. Legally it will be classed as a new vehicle, and need to be registered as such. Which will mean SVA test, and the vehicle complying with relevant construction and use regs in current force, mirrors, indicators etc, and now abs for "new" motorcycles above 125cc. It must also comply with current noise and emissions regs, which I don't reckon an old SOHC motor will ever do, and it won't be tax exempt for 40 years after registration!

The less than legal options start with withdrawing as much information that you've made public as you can - including this thread.
You wont/shouldn't be able to get an MOT without frame numbers matching V5. Some testers are happy with a vin plate others insist on a stamped head stock.
I've seen people get away with original head stocks welded into aftermarket frames, or frames stamped, or vin plates attached.
There's a points system for what qualifies as a new vehicle, https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/radically-altered-vehicles
hairygit:
Well that document states the best you can hope for is a "Q" plate, as with a non standard frame you're 5 points down to start with! Chances are the forks won't be standard either, so you have a lot of hassle ahead!
