[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 179337, member: 60"] Even allowing for variations in the 'standard' interval between engine and frame numbers (often known) we should also spare thought for those owners whose bikes did not have matching numbers when they came from the factory :eek: No-one could attest to Gunga Dinn having matching numbers and as for doubts about recording on the back of a fag packet during the hiatus as the last D's came out of the factory. I have had a lot of Vincents the only matching number bike was a Rapide that cost me £65 I think bits of it are still in my Comet I guess nobody cared about numbers till about 1980 Ride em dont hide em.
