repairable writeoff frame?? what to do?

[xa-mont]

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the deal is if i were to buy a frame from a repairable writeoff and get it reregistered? what would be process be? normally you have to take photos and whatnot of the damage and then repair it and have it VIVed... but if it is just a frame with no damage how does it work?

Cheers,

If it was a repairable write off it would still have to be viv checked as it is listed on the vin number mate

And have receipts for every part put on the frame , all paint etc used, PITA but doable

It's been a few years since I did mine, but if you did work on it yourself you had to sign a statutory declaration saying that you did the work (and list what you did IE paint tank, plastic weld fairings, etc) as well as having all the receipts for parts you bought.

well here is the plan.

There is a VFR800 stat writeoff for sale up the road from my place for 2kish, plus i can get a rep writoff frame for 500... the stat writeoff is in pretty good nick and doesn't need a lot to get it up to scratch, so would a receipt for that be enough (assuming i don't buy other parts) to get past a VIV?

Worth the risk. you could always re-sell the whole lot if u don't manage

[xa-mont]

that's true... could just re-sell is as a repairable writeoff for more than the cost probably...

you wanna come look at the stat writeoff with me some time next week?

Wheels are in motion to get stock parts back. got a wheel with rotors coming from SA for free and i'll make a link pipe for the old muffler that i'll grab from dads this weekend... who knows... i might have a bike for NFR :P

The only spanner in the works I can see is having a stat write-off engine in the rep write-off frame.

I don't know if they would let you register it ???

[BANDITROD]

You can use a stat write off engine in a normal bike so it won't be a prob in a repairable write off

I did the same thing.

Bought a stat writeoff gsx1400 and a repairable write off frame and forks.

Bolted them together, took a few photos and got a few receipts.

et viola!

rego was no problem.

I suggest you take a few phots of the stat writeoff bike before you dismantle it.

I was told if you are using 2nd hand parts you need to supply the vin of the donor bike. Then the donor bike will be listed as a stat write off. So no eBay parts unless they are new

I wouldn't bother tbh
