Does anyone else have the frame part number stamped on the headstock on the opposite side to the frame number.
I've never seen this before.

Re: Frame part number
I've seen a frame like this with a KHI part number on the offside and unstamped on the nearside. I believe that they were replacement frames which were supplied like this. Presumably they were meant to be re-stamped with the original frame number.
I also still have a V5 for a Z1000 (bike broken long ago) which shows the KHI frame part number as the chassis number.

Re: Frame part number

and has made in Japan centre like all of them
ive been told the DGM means something in Italian but cant remember what, and the numbers are the same for all of them

Re: Frame part number
Thanks for the replys, the z1b my mate has just bought has the part number on it, he googled the number and it did indeed come back as the part number, I'd never seen it before. I had a new frame on a 73 Z1 that had been in an accident, but there was no numbers on it.

Re: Frame part number
Quick google found this on a forum and the number also popped up on a French site waffling something like "The frame bears the mention KHI DGM 13235 OM, which suggests that the bike was initially marketed in Italy."
The "DGM" stands for an Italian motor vehicle agency (DIREZIONE GENERALE MOTORIZZAZIONE) and it is an approval number, not a part number.

Re: Frame part number
it wouldnt be hard to accept that a frame from Italy ended up in the UK..but 2 in Western Canada would suggest to me that Mama Kaw sold them wherever needed them....my tuppence worth

I agree.. I have seen DGM numbers on various parts sold worldwide like airboxes :13236S and 30386S (´76), exhausts: 13236S (´75) and 30386S (´76) and frames (same numbers) . I have to check the lights though on my ´74 that was produced for the Italian market (which had a special modified lamp at the back).
