Hi, and welcome! Easiest way to tell if it's not a U.K. bike is by the vin plate. If it is on the headstock it's probably a U.S. import, it will have the date of manufacture on it and bits about meeting Federal laws/ regs

Unsure of plans.Always wanted one,picked this up for reasonable cost,have no issues fettling.I am not into showromm etc,I want to ride it and get it dirty,do not want cafe racer,too painful at my age when getting off the bike.So consdering sensible refurb,with some personal touches,different bars,headlamp and colour scheme.reading so much info on this awesome forum/website,but giving me too many ideas.
