Right, well i bought a 1992 ZXR250c with cosmetic damage that had done 19000kms. I thought i could tidy it up and either keep it or flick it off for some coin.
Stupidly, i never checked whether it was an insurance write off, and was naive as to how much was involved with getting a write off back on the road.
There was only fairing damage, however the cost of getting an engineers cert. is going to make it a less than worthy project, which pisses me off since it is finished, except for paint, and rides beautifully.
Sooo...my thought is that since my bike has done 38000kms and has recently had a low side and thus is a tad scratched, i should just swap all parts over onto my other frame, and thus make one mint bike out of the two. I would effectively have a bike that has only done 19000kms and has a beautiful new paint job. I would also replace all the bearings etc in the swing arm, and while my frame is bare, give it a good going over. I could then hock off all of the other parts, or make a racebike.
My question is, if i deregister my ZXR with 38,000kms on it, and swap all of the parts over, how easy is it to re-register it with only 19,000kms on it?? I assume that it would only require another Vin?
The 19000km ZXR is perfectly fine, only i am NOT gonna cough up that mush coin for a light vehicle certificate!
IDEA'S??
Alternatively if someone has a registered frame they would like to sell, let me know. Has to be in mint condition though.
