Frame question
Posted: 26 Aug 2018 12:14
Are the frames for the 1982 500 SEI and the 1982 500W exactly the same?
I know the styling of the bikes is different, but If I try to fit Sei parts, like the battery carrier, side panels, tail piece etc directly onto a standard W frame will I find that the mounting points, brackets, battery carrier etc are different?
I have a SEI which needs work and is registered on a q plate, and have been offered a W frame from the same year with a UK log book. I'm told its going to be very difficult to lose the long standing Q registration from the SEI, but if the W could be built up using parts the parts from the SEI the finished bike would to all intents and purposes be a 1982 500 sei with a 1982 registration.
Provided that is the frames are identical and all parts will swop between the two frames.
Any comments appreciated, thanks
