Not sure about new bike's identity!

Hi Paul if it's been powdercoated chances are your number is hidden under the powdercoat, your right about the frame number being on a separate panel but it should also be stamped into the headstock,  ;) cheers Mick.

I have  a  '69 CB250K0 frame and it has no numbers on the headstock, it must have been a replacement frame. Agree that without a log book with the number in it you will have a problem. If you found a scrap frame (rusted out/bent)  but with V5, and you have a blank frame you could stamp the numbers into it or fit Honda VIN plate and it may be legal. Bryan will know more I am sure.

Hi,
     My 400/4 had the number stamped on the frame just forward of the tank mounting spigot, my mates was stamped vertically on the near-side of the headstock, there is a lot of powder coat to ruin if the position varies bike to bike!   ken

Moral Yes, Legal Hmmmmmm, but no tell no know!!!.

Honda always stamped a number on a production frame but not on a Parts frame so you could try saying thats its been rebuilt into a replacement NOS frame. DVLA would be able to trace the engine number but the only people they will do it for is Plod and remember if the bike is knicked and plod get at it you loose the bike and your money mate


If i can find my genuine Honda workshop manual it may tell me where to look for the number
