Your V5 should show the current frame and engine number.
It's possible that one or both may have changed on an old bike unless you have photo copies of the original V5 from when the bike was new. Closely matching numbers helps.

We don“t have V5 here but "registreringsbevis". Both frame and engine number are correct.

Have downloaded K1 parts catalogue, with that and CSMNL will probably be able to track the parts i need.
