GADGET · Guru

Yamaha £40 ish with cover letter that dates it for reg purposes ,might need a vic check or the other check

??, can't remember the name (anyone???),if you go to look at it take a piece of string and a tape measure and eye it thru and check the head stock is not twisted or forced backwards in any way

Ralzy · Guru

Don`t get me wrong I appreciate MDK`s input & help but you have proof that YODA can be 90% sure he can come back with the required info I don`t want to be chasing my tail and being sent round around the garden with the DVLA. And I ain`t got a lotta love for the bacon if im honest. local bike dealer/parts is an option worth looking at. But I think its just easier if I pay YODA and will receive a pretty quick outcome I hate waiting just impatient me I suppose lol

supose the £23 is little money to lose and maybe if lucky a good gain for a legal fram if all comes back ok ...

but there as to be a cheaper if not free way .... as he is clearly makeing at least £13 if not more for each cheack could it work out if some of us pool together and get a trade hpi membership or something like that could be used by all forum members maybe for smaller fee ?
as I am sure if we set something up we would all be out scrounging frames of all shapes and sizes to check and it would pay for it,s self at some point ...

maybe the forum owner could sett it up and put a paypal or donate button for each hpi/vin check

I think that would be cracking if we could get a trade hpi membership or something simular up & running. I bet these memberships don`t come cheap though but with split costs between members wouldn`t be so damaging to our wallets. It does hold a mine of information that could be beneficial to many of us at some stage

a trade HPI account lets you check bikes from just frame numbers,also gives you the reg number as an added bonus.....

Ralzy · Guru

Nice one mate but I`m not in trade though so I`m stumped on that one

Ralzy · Guru

lol Now thats more like it cheers matey smile

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

lol well worth the 23 squid imo. dvla dont and WONT help in my experience (they asked me to reassemble my bike and present it to them for inspection,knowing full well it was written off and scrapped)

Ralzy · Guru

This is defo a big help I did think DVLA might not want to help but I was still willing to give them a letter / call as I had no where else to try your a star matey really appreciate the info.

Thanks again smile

NEV · Guru

Dave did you get back the reg number then? albeit a Q plate reg number? as this is what I need to do for the 125XT i need to get cracking on with. but hopefully it'll be an 82 reg plate.

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

the q plate frame was one of 2 i got for field bikes.... as it turned out they were both the same bike? bike was stolen,frame numbers removed,recovered,new frame and put on a q plate... was worth the little fee though biggrin £30 for 2 frames,£23 for the check...£53 for a legal dt frame is cheap,even on a q biggrin you'd be amazed how many field dt's were just mot failures.... although most are right-offs. the check will give you your origional reg for your xt biggrin

NEV · Guru

wow, nice one, what sort of timescale from paying bloke to that? well worth the £23 quid that.

Ralzy · Guru

Defo worth £23 for that kind of info I`m just curious as I`m at a cross roads to build a bike from this frame if its able to go back on the road I may keep it if its not able to I will just sell it on as a field bike to a chava

NEV · Guru

Its daft you cant buy your original reg number from DVLA, surely all the cars scrapped with potentially expensive personal numberplates, can put money into the coffers of the govt I woulda thought.

Ralzy · Guru

So how would I get it back on the road if i`m able too then ?

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

was minutes for that,from payment to recieved check. not sure what hours he does though? i put his name forward to andy on the yamahaclub forum for the frame he got (written off and scrapped too disbelief ) well worth it (can save a fortune biggrin )

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

once you've got the reg,you can apply for the log book,assuming its not scrapped/written off/stolen. once you get it back its easy from then on in biggrin

it'll tell you the engine number(find another,change the number with dvla)

build your bike

mot it

tax it

ride off into the sunset laughing....

thats what i'm doing with mine at the moment biggrin

Ralzy · Guru

Woarrr Thats proper simple then I`m a proper noob as all this is new to me as ive never done it before hmm

MDK · DTR Legend

£23 for a hpi ....I have and do yous this site for under £10 not sure if you can check seriels or vin numbers http://www.carcheckuk.co.uk/

other ideas spotted around forums and the net ?

vin number to my local parts people / motorcycle shop and next day they gave me reg number, engine number, colour, and how many owners, best of all its FREE!!

guy at bottom of this forum post do,s checks with vin for £23 email yodi@blueyonder.co.uk http://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=225546

NEV · Guru

aye this is stripped down ready for rebuilding. but i want to keep as standard as possible, as its the 7th off production line, according to vin.

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

i've got a field bike thats gonna be a doner for mine

a very easy way to do it lol not to mention cheap... biggrin

Ralzy · Guru

I`m sure I saw that bike in the link you gave me NEV about polishing your DEP up ?

FunkeyMunkeyDavid · Guru

the parts people/local bike shop might be worth a look. my local bike shops are well aware of people trying this though,won't order parts without a reg number hmm
