Not sure about the US but a VIN less frame is not worth a great deal in the UK as you cannot register the bike unless it is on a 'Q' plate which massively affects its value. The VIN number near enough triples the price of the part, as you are effectively buying the identity, which is crucial for any hope of a resale or maintaining the value of a bike towards a half reasonable amount. Even then if it is not the original VIN or it does not correspond with the engine number according to the log book (title of ownership), people are going to ask questions as to the history of the bike and most will walk away unless its destined for the track alone. Good luck with the sale anyway.

Tempting with any VIN number for any reason it's against the LAW. Unless it's done by a certified State facility, DMV or CHP. Trust me believe learn the hard way. I wouldn't touch this frame not even having the PS. You have to x-ray it to find what the VIN number was to match the Pink Slip. My opinion.

Depending on the state you live in, say your original frame got cracked you schedule a motor vehicle inspection with a special inspection division and they verify the main bike is legally yours and not stolen, then they issue either a replacement Vin or will restamp your existing Vin. This is an arduous procees, but nonetheless doable in nearly all states. These frames are sold with the intention of creating off road bikes, but there are legal ways of using for an on road bike. Even without a previous bike it's possible say if you're a fabricator and make your own one-off bikes.
