the airbox and suction tube.

i had to shorten the ignition coil wires

and the magneto wires as well

to make them work with the harness

it was long so they could run without a harness.

as you can see i have put some new and used parts on

i removed the after market fender

and in the photo of rear tire you can see i am missing the turn signal brackets

my nine didget vin number is hard to find a report on because in 1981

the hiway patrol made 17 diget vin numbers standard

so i was wondering where i can search for pre 1981 vin reports

what is a VIN report ?

Like an AA car check. They use company's like Carfax but because they have a different way of registration (all on the VIN not the reg) they have the opposite problem to us in that our DVLC search everything from the reg number they do everything from the VIN.

Just for the record, the Highway Patrol didn't introduce Standardisation of 17 digit VIN numbers.

There is certain information that can be obtained from the shorter VIN but this may not tell you the bike history as I do not know how the USA registration works. Or if people like Carfax accept short versions of VIN numbers for checking. I would guess someone must do as there are a lot of USA members there who have older bikes and these have papers (Green slips???) and are registered in the States.
