Honda-SOHC

Hi Peter and welcome. In my experience the DVLA are pretty quick these days with new registrations - just so long as the paperwork is all in order. Normally I get the v5 back in 5-7 days of sending.

That's good news as the website states up to 6 weeks. Thanks for the update.
I'll post here when I get a response.

This looks a decent project bike for someone as the condition reminds me of the 350 twin I got from them last year. Initially, It looks tatty but look at the state of the chrome on it  (rims guards etc. ). Thing is it does not have standard exhausts but if it did it woud be advertised at a much higher price but the exhausts would probably  still need expensive rechroming, if you can find someone to do it. ( have been quoted 125GBP each for my CB350 twin ones C/W downpipe but only after he has left them  filled with hot caustic soda  for a month).

You can get some good projects at DK Motorcycles. I have recently purchased a CB550 from them and it is coming along nicely. You do have to do the maths with regard to renovating though. The carburetors, and engine are the main concern, as if the bike is a US import, it could have been standing for years, so it is best if you can visit the showroom to check out the bike first and make a list of what you will have to spend on it.

If you let me know the price. I will be in a position to let you know if I can afford them before you spend more time trying to load photos.

Thanks

I bought a new 1974 CB500 four in (would you believe) 1974 when mag alloy wheels for bikes were first making an appearance.
I was lucky enough to know someone who had a contact at the factory in Mildenhall and managed to get a set at a discount - they looked great when fitted.
Today I still like the 1972 K2 CB500 four and want to change the wheels (and possibly forks if necessary) to alloy wheels, but alas can't find any for a bike this old.
An alternative might be a set of Honda Superdream wheels/forks with Comstar wheels, hence my post to see if anyone on the forum has done this and if so, how did you do it.
Any help would be much appreciated.
