Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2008'Unscrapping' a bike with the dvla
Does anyone know if that's possible? I have legitimately (yeah, right) acquired a SOB that was sold as being stolen/recovered with no V5. HPI check reveals it to be marked as scrapped (in 1989!) - has anyone ever tried to reverse that? TIA  Signature/Simon > Does anyone know if that's possible?

It'll be the easiest and cheapest way of doing it.

I've wondered about this for slightly difference reasons - take this example: Bike A - Frame number 1 - registration is abc 123 Bike B - Frame number 2 - registration xyz 789 (this is just a frame) Rather than actually swap frames would it be legitimate to swap frame numbers and registrations which saves taking the bloody bikes apart. So put Bike B's registration plate on Bike A and fill in a replacement frame number (frame no. 1) on the V5 of XYZ 789. A bit later change the engine number. Only two screws on each of the number plates and a bit of biro wielding. SignatureSimon > > > Does anyone know if that's possible?

You could quite easily restamp the old frame with the new number. You own both frames legitimately, so why not as long as you deface the number on the old frame. I think you have to score so many points on the parts swopping list to be able to legally change a vehicle's frame number, much the same way as when kit cars used to be registered on year related numbers.

I remember "Lozzo" <lozzo@lozzo.org.uk> saying something like: >You could quite easily restamp the old frame with the new number. You >own both frames legitimately, so why not as long as you deface the >number on the old frame. That's always been my take on it. There's no intention to deceive or summat like that, despite some coppers sucking their teeth about it. Of course, having the same frame numbers on five bikes and only one tax disc between them would be pushing it a bit.
