My frame and engine match, but ehre is te strange thing. Went to file
for a lost title, from Wisconsin, and they said that the 5 digit number
could not be the vin and I needed to have the state reissue a new vin!
Told the girl that I willc all abck another time when I can get someone
to talk to who knows the older bike vin system.

I will send it to you soon Paul.

Neil,

A list of sorts is being kept of all VIN's that we have been able to
track
down. This is only for historical/reference purposes. I have yet to do a
write up for Greg Bender to give the ranges of VIN's for V700, Ambo and
Eldo's. But I can give you an idea of what year and possibly the month
of
the motor if you do not have matching numbers or a data plate.

For all those who wish to have their VIN added to the record, just send
me
an email offline to paullinn (at) comcast . net with the data on your
VIN
plate found on the steering neck and your location. If you can also
include
if you have a 4 shoe or disc that would be great. To date we have over
328
Loops recorded.

Paul

thanks.. by engine number mine should have gears then...gonna have to
have a
proper look as its got a rattle which i was hoping was just a worn
timing
chain!

another question - are frame and engine numbers supposed to match? mine
are
nothing like each other so hopefully not! also I was looking on the
internet
to see if there was info regarding estimated build dates for
engine/frame
numbers.. not found it yet - anyone any clues?
Neil.
