November 11, 201411 yr Hi all, I just bought my first ever Fantic a 200 I believe. It has been road registered in the past last owner had it on the road 10 years ago but all the documents have been lost including the numberplate. Where should be frame and engine numbers be? All I can find so far is an FM350 stamped on the engine and a sticker on the headstock. Theres no evidence of any flat spots on the head stock and even the paint looks original - I'm a bit reluctant to start fetching the paint off the headstock looking for a number as to be honest the bike looks never to have been used in anger and I would like to keep it looking unrestored so i'm not scared to use it It would be nice to get the registration number as I could put it on my insurance policy then. Thanks for your help - Who should I be trying for parts for this, Ideally I need an oversize piston+ring, or at least a ring and a kick start, are Frankfield Fantic (the only Fantic people I can remember) still going?
November 12, 201411 yr Author Thanks all found the frame number now to get it HPI'd and hopefully find the reg number out. Realised these have a chrome liner in the barrel - it looks like it needs a trip to Langcourts for welding and a replate as there is a decent sized nick out of the top of the exhaust port....
