Can you stamp aluminium

@declan I wouldn't worry about it bud.
If it does bug you.

Of cases with the numbers and just transfer your internals to it.

@calum I’ve already been looking but depressed now I was hopping that there would be some sort of explanation I saw the vin plate but I’m used to the vin being underneath the gear shifter so I thought nothing of it
@declan What?
I don/t know what that means. Con plate?
The numbers are stamped into the top of the left hand case.
Literally wouldn't give a rats @$$ mate. It's an old bike, shit happens.
It's not going to fetch a mint, but it's not in mint condition. So it was never going to fetch a mint anyway
Always Originate, Never Pirate!

@calum what ya tryna say
sorry guess I miss spelled vin plate I saw it was empty but didn’t at the time know it was actually the vin plate -
I would not worry either, you have learnt a lesson though to always check frame and engine no, first thing I do, historic now anyway. Just enjoy it as is and if the opportunity arises at a later date change cases/engine to suit. Probably hundreds like yours around, dt's are a scumbag magnet that appeal to people trying to make a quick buck. As Calum says any attempt to replicate vin no on engine is doomed to failure and makes you complicit in concealing identity and will stand out a mile.
If it's a good sound engine don't fret, you didn't steal it or know provenance at time of purchase, put it down to experience. -
@declan There is no VIN Plate?? It's not like a car or other vehicles. It's just stamped directly into the metal right. See the eBay add.
When you get the cases painted, often you lose sight of the VIN.

Missing engine numbers won't affect your MOT either, it's only the frame number they check.
@finnerz89 how sure are you my dude

Well most bikes you can't even see the engine number that easily, and the MOT testers guide on the DVLA website doesn't even mention it so I'm pretty sure
Current bikes:
DT125X '07
Street Triple R '11
Aprilia ETV1000 '02Previous:
DR650RSE '96
FJ1200 '92 -

@finnerz89 I guess you can’t see them on superbikes can you so you may be right
