Herrdeacon... Can you tell me if the Frame # and VIN # are the same on these bike's i have no ownership ,and theres no VIN Plate on the frame :-X :-X

jimd
 
I'm not 100%, but I believe so. My VIN plate is missing as well so I'm not sure, but with all the other Honda's I've owned I think they were the same. I used the frame one to transfer mine, however they said it was never in their system :eek: maybe this is the reason.

I'll bounce the question off the guys on the MB5 List to see if they know.

Confirmed on the MB5 list that they are both the same.

Cheer's,,, I can breath a little easier now ,,, Im gonna take the frame number to the MTO and see what happens ;)
 
Good to chat today Jim!! ;)

Man, you could pick that up and carry it home if it breaks! :eek: :D

Good deal! Have fun!
 
So to-day after a couple of wobbly pops i decided to work on the 'little stinker' i have been following Herrdeacons build..http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=27289.0
the seat he's creating is magic.. Im going for Basic as you will see in the pic's I want to create a low budget bike $250. so it will be a beg, stesl, borrow ;D my 1st purchase was the black tank/toolbox cover cost me $50 from http://www.perkllc.com/ great guy to deal with...

I love the mb5. I would like to have one. Or at least the front end and rear wheel. They would look soo good on my 125 cafe.
 
Sweet, love the seat. That's the direction I'd like to go with the cushion, so I'll be following this. :) Going to look good.

Glad to hear positive feedback on Perk LLC as I may need to do some business there in the future. Heard good things about them.
 
I got the 30 day warning :eek: so im at it again.. done some striping, cleaning and painting ... 8)
