Seems to be that i have a interesting bike :lol: . O.K. one thing is, in Switzerland it is the Law to have the correct engine, in the correct frame with the correct exhaust system as the manufacturer it has build ! You can replace a 850 with a period correct 850, but never a 750 with a 850. If you want to do something like this, you have to pass a state test procedure with your bike ! So, if you want to do that without trouble, you restamp your engine/frame ( i have never done such things, i have only heard ) It's possible that the MK1 (MN1) stamping is a swiss market unique ( to identify the engine ). All early US car's have never had a stamped VIN number to the frame, except the cars in switzerland. Reason: a attached VIN plate can removed and reused, a stamped VIN can't !
My wish is to know the correct production date from engine and frame, so i can build my bike troublefree with the parts that fit. I build my car's and bikes for fun, to ride, to wrench ...I know it isn't the "all is correct resto", but the big plus is, i can enjoy it, without to worry about to damage a unique bike/car like a combat or a 71' hemicuda. I do a lot of modifications to my car's, but always with a close to factory look,so it's fun to see the peoples scratching their heads.
Enjoy your rides, you will see the tears in grandma's eyes when she gets her youth back !
Thanks all for their support.
