Hi everyone , as a newbee trike owner , i hope someone can help me with a question i have?
I have a cosmopolitan wk trike with a vw 1200 engne and on the log book the vin/frame number only has 9 characters instead of the usual 17 on a car, when i try to enter the frame or engine number into a search i always get the same reults , "please enter full 17 digits"?
All i wanted to know was the engine specs for future details in case i wanted to upgrade parts?
Any help as always is appriciated
thanks

Parts for the VW engine/gearbox/drive wheels are easy to get online or from GSF or Machine7. Other parts from WK may take a while.
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

All you need to know is the first 2 or 3 letters of the engine number then look on somewhere like this
