Hi - New Member needing advice on buying a CB750

[mike the bike]

I bought a replacement C90 frame,  didn't have a number on it so I borrowed a set of stamps and did it myself.   The vin plate was flat and the result was OK but the normal stamps wouldn't work on a radiussed headstock.

MOT man is SUPPOSED to look at the stamped number, vin plate is acceptable but stamped in frame is preferred, I didn't think vin plates were fitted to K1.

A re=stamp is obvious even if you do get Honda font stamps (which I have never seen!)

My MOT chap (bless him) barely looks at the bike never mind the stamping. He always asks for a previous MOT and takes the details off that. Hasn't looked at a frame number on any of my bikes for years. I could weld on the back half of a Triumph and he probably wouldn't notice, just so long as it was shiny. I'm told he goes over them with a fine tooth comb if they look tatty and unmaintained.

I will be honest and say when i was testing 50% of the pass was who brought it in
