I have a bantam frame. The frame number starts BD25**** but its very faint, I’m not sure of the year or type (think it’s a D7)

I’m in the process of fitting a C15 engine, how hard would it be to get a V5 for this frame / Bike?

since 15/04/13 its now become about an 8 week process ( thats as a minimum.. )

your 'bike' will be very difficult to register..

you have a barely legible frame number if its complete thats a bonus without a complete one you are never going to leaglly get one..

adding an engine from a different model will complicate the issue considerabley and you ll be very lucky to get a age related number and will have to have a Q plate at a minumum..

this process will be complex and costly and ongoing will be expensive in terms of insurance road tax compared to a age related number..

by far the most practical option would be to purchase a bike /frame with a valid current v5c and amend the details..

without the practical option you will have a very torrid and expensive process to battle through..

Thought as much, looks like it will be an off-road only bike
