I ordered a new from this seller. Stamped the frame number and attached it on frame. The frame should have 2 holes for it.

UK bikes did not have tags or vin plates till 77 maybe 78 depending on model so you dont need one.
And if you do buy one no they dont stamp them, one seller will print the number others just leave it blank

That's good, obviously if it's a USA import that is now in the UK, it would have had a VIN tag. It was only the UK models that didn't have them fitted, I'm not sure if the mainland Europe 750's have them fitted or not.
Edit, if yours is a K4 it's a USA model as we never had k3/4/5 in the UK model range, so yours should have a tag 😊

Swedish bikes got this plate on frame, right side close to horn.  At least K2 and K6. (1972-1977)

The plate to purchase must be stamped by yourself.

I found rather good sized stamps at my job. Not exactly same style as Honda.

I'll stamp not that hard next time.
I ordered 2 for my K2 build which was perfect since I have bought another K2 frame in need of a better looking plate. Stock plate is really dented and scratched

Where do you get those plates? My CX500 has a section of its plate missing from wear on cables chafing against it...crazy to see that.

 Use them, I accidentally ordered from another vendor.  It came and is a beautiful sticker. I got 3 in the order, tried one on the frame and left it. I did stick one to an aluminum plate but haven't messed with it further.

Lash suggested this company to me. I’ve ordered two and they were superb. They also make others. I’m pretty sure the one on my Benelli 750 SEI came from them too.
