So you still have the frame my old dt was stolen whats the chances of me buying your frame ... changing the vin to my old vin number and say its stolen recovered and putting the frame back on the road i can change vins verry well to save a written off frame to save another dt ?
-
@stinkwheeler Pretty sure that is mentally illegal. But criminal to scrap a perfectly usable frame because the government wants rid of smokers and/or the insurance companies are bastards!
Obviously it'll mean two frames with the same VIN.
-
@stinkwheeler I'm sure that the DVLA must have some procedures and security measures in place to counteract this type of cloning behaviour. Or else the dodgy Arthur Daly's of this world would have been doing just that and getting away with it for years!!!

I understand that but the other frame was stolen i have the logbook for it ... i also have the original engine for the bike and i couldn't make a claim against the insurance as they offered me 300 quid ...... i understand its illegal in some sence but so is putting alloys on your car and not telling your insurance .. its naughty but no harm done lol
-
@stinkwheeler What does the HPI report say about either reg/VIN numbers???
-
@NINJA mine comes up as stolen on hpi but surely i could put the bike together and say it was found
-
@stinkwheeler Your still the registered owner of that bike I take it? You can rebuild the bike and say it was found, but if the insurance company has paid out then the 'stolen tag' on it will remain. I highly doubt if you can get that tag removed, as it would be a loophole which unscrupulous people would exploit. The DVLA would be wise to this, plus if you ever got pulled over by the police, their records would show it was a stolen bike. Which could mean that the would confiscate it and then that's a job and a half to get it back, if indeed you can? All in all it's just not worth the aggro, use it as a field bike and get a legit one for the road, as that will save you the grief in the long run!!!
-
@NINJA the bike was reported stolen but never claimed on the insurance that was the point i have the logbook and original pannels engine with matching numbers loom ... so if i had the frame and re vined it I'd have a bike for the price of a written off frame.
-
@stinkwheeler AAAHHHH It becomes clear now, let us know how you get on with it all??? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
