Not sure about new bike's identity!

(1/3) > >>

pauliexjr:
I've just bought a project bike (apologies, it's a CB750 dohc) but there was no paperwork as it was advertised as a 'barn find'.

My concern is I can't find a VIN number on the frame and there are no registration plates. Is it possible to track or trace it from the engine number and if so can anyone point me in the right direction to do this?

mick:
Hi I don't think it possible to identify your bike from the engine number? you may have to clean the paint off the frame to find the vin number if there is one? or are there any old tax disc's on the bike with the reg number on? cheers Mick.

pauliexjr:
Hi Mick,

No numbers at all on the frame, this is a 1980 bike (apparently) and the details are normally on an adhesive panel or tag on the head stock, but that appears to have been removed for powder coating.

Suspect it's a trip to the local cop shop to find out if it's actually registered on their database for any nefarious reason!

Trigger:
Mick is right. You need to find a VIN number or you will have to find another frame. Can not do anything without a VIN Paul.

Trigger:
Paul, the police will only be able to tell you if the engine is reported stolen because that is the only number you have.
