Thanks for the meaningful advice, pal. However, did it not occur to you that by NOT advertising my engine number on my o.p, i did not want to advertise it. Assuming, of course, i am not a complete moron. Lets start again, if its okay with you. I would greatly appreciate any information on the method(s) involved in verifying or retrieving the aformentioned (or not-so aformentioned) number. Is it too much to ask for a bit of thought and compassion for a fellow human being before inflicting a savage verbal attack on a new member. You should be ashamed of yourself, and others like you. Do you posess superior knowledge,or just like flexing your fictional muscles? Gimp.

hi, i just bought the bike which had been stolen, butchered, and since recovered.. so as there is no frame number any more, i am wondering if i can determine the age of my 'ENGINE'from the engine number, which will at least give me a rough idea of the age i assume.... iv also heard of the acid retrieval technique but i dont know what ingredients or mixtures to use.... any help on either points would be much appreciated.. thanks.
