Ebay, Altered chassis number?

<< < (3/3)

JamesH:
Yes the VIN style varies over the years. Some are stamped, some printed. Have attached a photo of a K2 VIN from one of my old K2's. The layout / style is identical to the eBay bike so I'm confident it's correct. The earlier K0/1 bikes have a subtly different style/layout and I suspect some of the later bikes do too..

Ive been out in the garage this afty so had chance to dig out the cb and have a good look at the vin... On close inspection the vin number is actually embossed (raised up) and also printed over the top in ink. So when the cables have rubbed on it they have removed the paint on the top of the figures and let the bare aluminium show through making it look to have been stamped... so looks like you were right to think it was ok 👍
