CAT B Write Off - Back on road?

@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!!!

@Calum don’t hate the player hate the game as far as I’m concerned it’s not illegal if you have no malicious intent. You can’t have two vins in use though I’m sure they’d realise something’s a miss

[stinkwheeler]

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

[Calum]

@declan Lol, it's not a case of whether you think it's illegal or not. It is against the law. What you choose to do with that is up to you.

I know what I would do in your case.

@stinkwheeler What does the HPI report say about either reg/VIN numbers???

[stinkwheeler]

@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:

[Calum]

@bakerDT125R-SM Yamaha sell the fairings.

@bakerDT125R-SM There's usually some to be found on ebay as well, which may prove cheaper? You could also join the Facebook groups and ask on there too, see here for details;
