Frame Registration

[Sr.X]

Does anyone have any info on registering a frame. I have no idea where it came from but I'm certain it's not hot. I know what year it is and what model but I don't want to get into building anything around it unless I can get papers on it first. Any info would be helpful. Thanks Bob

I'm doing the same thing with my car as the vin tag is missing.You have to apply to icbc for a new vin #,send a letter with all the info you have on the frame and attach a cheque for $7 to    icbc driver testing & vehicle information,room 154-151 west esplanade,north vancouver,bc,v7m 3h9. hope this helps

Thanks, I'll give this a try. One advantage to long winters is the time some things take to get done.
