I'm on the classic cycles site and trying to get all the manuals i need to start tearing down and rebuilding my cb750 K5, I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the downloads available, could someone please tell me exactly what I need.
I only ask as i like to get all manuals printed up.

Are there any uk companies that do a conversion kit? I know CycleX in the states does one and I know a supersport back setup will fit, but looking to maintain spokes!

Good luck with the project, there aren't many on here with that sort of bike but it's always interesting to see a new machine being created, looks like there's a fair bit to do!.
Yes choppers are pretty rare these days. It's seems either restore to stock, ride it into the ground or spend, spend on cafe racer with M unit stuff. I remember the likes of Leon Wallace customs in London. At least you can guarantee some help on the engine here and keep the posts and pics coming.
Cheers boys! I'll update as often as I can!

As I cant work on the bike right now I thought i'd post some pics on parts that I have bought for it  Springer arrived and I'm super happy with it, needs some work but for the price I paid it was an absolute steal.   Got 4 of these bad boys as well!

Trying to get stocked up on everything I need for my build as I can't actually build it yet!
A bit overwhelmed with all the different types of threadlock on the market, even loctite has seemingly 50 different versions!
What do people use?
Do I need different types or is there one for everything?

If it HAS to be stamped what do you do with an aftermarket frame? Are the only options a Q plate?

If i'm reading this correctly, you have a custom bike without a frame number and another 750 frame with a V5...... For paperwork reasons these are totally different vehicles as the engine number does not really matter for V5 purposes....... If your feeling a bit cheeky, you could get a 750 Vin plate made up with the other frames number and rivet it to the headstock of the custom then destroy the 750 frame (grind off the frame number). Change the V5 into your name and put it on SORN, you can then change the engine number at will later.......... For heavens sake don't try to sell the 750 frame afterwards as a policeman will come........ All this is of course very illegal and I would have nothing to do with such an idea ever, honest officer......... I think the above dastardly deed is called Ringing.
This kinda makes sense, I have no issue binning the old frame as I got the whole lot for a steal. Probably going to see if I can get the engine number changed first! Best place to get a new VIN plate?

looking forward to seeing more of this!

Thanks for all the help guys!
I have the frame on the V5 and its fine. I'm thinking the best I can hope for us trying to get the engine number changed and then getting a vin plate made up.

Have I got this right, you have a V5 with none of the details correct for your chopper - engine, frame or year? Have you managed to get an MOT? If so, what number did he enter into the system, as the number on the frame should tally with his system? It might be easier if the frame is not marked!!!
Changing the engine number used to be straightforward but they might insist on a receipt now. Some Yam V5s don't even list the engine number - my mid 90's XJR12 and VMAX didn't.
Be careful what you tell or ask them, or as others say, you might end up down the SVA and Q reg route. I don't think it's easy to change year without verified dating evidence.

It's currently in parts and nowhere near ready for an MOT. I have the old frame that matches the V5. But the chopper frame has no markings at all. The engine I have does not match the V5. Looking into it I'd be happy if I can just change the engine number to the correct engine in the chopper frame.

It's an aftermarket frame, so has no frame number. But I have the frame the V5 belongs too.
Are there any issues just leaving it as it is and trying to change the current engine number?

So the CB750 chopper I bought came with a V5 with the old frame number and a different engine number. Therefore is essentially wrong, it's for a 1977 CB750 when mine is a '75.
Whilst I'm never going to have the right frame number it would be nice to get the correct engine number and year. What's the best way to get this sorted?? Can I get a new V5 just based on the engine number and then sell the old V5 with the old frame (which I have)?
