For a MOT, I need to see the VIN number stamped. VOSA do not state if that number is stamped to the frame or VIN plate  ;)

From memory Honda started fitting them to UK bikes about 77, US had them earlier to state they complied with Federal laws when built

Update on the Cr750 project. Its slow but its an infill build between the Rickman resto.
The new Asa Moyce Petrol and oil tank arrived the other day, It's really good quality. Should have been with me March next year but a few have dropped off the waiting list ,so I got them early.
Making the oil tank mounting brackets. and all lines up as I want it.

Im trying to source a good CB750 engine that turns over but in need of complete rebuild
Also looking at my options for front forks with twin disc arrangement , any assistance appreciated !

Regards  Keith

New Hagon built 18" shouldered ally rim
GL1000 forks, rebuilt with new stations, seals etc.
Polished ally.
Hub and Twin disks also from the 1975 GL1000
The disks were in such good condition I just spun them on the lathe for cleaning with scotch brite.
New wheel bearings and retainer
I have ordered from Ripple Rockers in the USA a billet fork top yoke instead of the original ugly GL1000 top.

Oil cooler is a Mocal with the ends removed.
I have welded onto the frame the support brackets, just got to make a clamp bracket around the cooler.
Trial fitted the fairing to check it clears

The GL1000 disks were in really nice condition acquired them from a breakers up north.

Tube is the start of the rear oil catch tank which will be mounted under the rear of the seat.

The seat front fixing lugs are now welded on and the rear of the frame shaped so as not to show when the seat is on.

New hagon Shocks acquired.

The new Billet fork top arrived a couple of days ago from Ripple Rockers in Canada. I'm very pleased with the quality.
Although the machining on the top from the CNC will need to be sanded flat prior to powder coating black.
This is a GL1000 top to fit the CB 750 frame

"""""""""". Now sanded flat and ready for powder coating

update on the build.
Having had a good break from all motorised things i'm back to getting my hands rough and dirty.

I have acquired another engine and in the process of cleaning it.
I've had the parts aqua cleaned with the crank, rods and a few parts tumbler polished.
