Is the bike substantially complete? You might get a visit from the DVLA’s validation engineer and based on what he said to me he’ll give the thumbs down if it’s in bits on the garage floor…..just saying.
Hmm, so a historic reg might not be the way to go here. Being from Australia and this being my first "build", the details of vehicle registrations are new so obviously a lot to learn!It was always my belief that a lot of parts would need to be replaced on the bike due to the age and condition. And as I've stripped it down I've found more and more issues.For example the front wheel rim is in poor condition, and I don't think it salvageable - so will need a new rim (see pics). Does this take it further from a historic reg? Probably! Rear wheel looks ok, on the outside, it might be ok to re-chrome. (Attachment Link) And the electrics, ugh! Another mess of missing/rotted/rusted parts - to be replaced with new wiring and M-unit.Exhaust is another full replacement. So yeah, not a great condition bike but I did want a challenge 😉
