in California they re tag lots of early bikes just like that exactly why it was done ???? but the Calif numbers are good for a title in the USA --

hope that helps the original 59 KR number is probly good for your country if you can swing that -- jz

It is a 1959 KR which is a flat head race bike that is what the R stands for. The rest is just the serial number. The sticker is something that was added.
