if not matching numbers id just buy a second hand frame complete with v5 document and number plate. leave the front and back ends pretty much intact and you can swap all parts over in a day  |

Surely if the reg number matches the frame common sense would say the engine has been changed and they forgot to tell DVLA and docs for engine number would be issued with the corrected engine number.
But then again it is the DVLA we are talking about. Positive is that you are dealing with a local officer who is trying to help rather than a voice on the phone at Swansea giving it " computer says no"

If DVLA refuse your registration we can either get an age related plate or apply for the original registration even if its not listed on the DVLA database as long as you have some evidence that the reg you have is for that bike.
Ie old tax/MOT. registrarion plate etc.
The first thing to do would be get the VIN checked on the database.
This costs £5
