I just pickup a MC18 with the MC18 VIN numbers stamped on the steering neck of the frame. After futher inspection, I notice the frame is identical to my MC21 frame..thicker frame, larger mounts to the subframe and a Gull swingarm,17 inch wheels??? I figure someone added the swingarm,wheels and plastics..Did Honda use MC21 style frames on their last production of their MC18's????

No, but it could be either a newer frame restamped, or actually a new frame stamped with the old number. (Possibly for registration purposes.)

Honda will (or used to) supply unstamped frames. (Probably only to bonafide dealrs though.)

Or someone had registration for a MC-18 that was totaled or beyond repair and stamped the MC-18 #'s into the MC-21 frame.
