They are the same, correct? The VIN # & the frame # are identical, aren’t they?

Yep, unless the vehicle has had a different vin# assigned. Some states will do that if there is no documentation and someone is trying to reg it, but they'll usually pull off all other tags or identification. I just reg'd my "Odd 90" and they took the frame #as the Vin and in CA they want the engine # too just to make sure you don't swap it for a "gross polluting" engine. There's an idea a Hodaka with a diesel engine.

It is so well understood I did not realize it could be a question. It was my cell phones fault. No for my age I screwed up. Now we move on to something important.-----Clarence
