CB500/550 / Help me clear up some v5 cofusion please!
« on: August 03, 2015, 10:09:03 PM »
OK i have bought a cb550 that didn't come with the v5 document or plate now i am not sure if it is a us import or not, i did a vin check on the bike before i got it and everything seemed fine and i got a receipt of sale and an mot on the frame number.
Is there a definitive way of checking it is a UK bike? if so my plan is as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong)

.v62 document to transfer bike to my name.... i guess if its an import i wont get this correct?

.VJMC age related document

.apply for age related plate

what else is needed to get the bike registered if it is an import? i'm hoping its a uk bike but just want to be clear of anything i will need to do to get this sorted will it need a vosa check the bike itself is very original.

Thanks in advance I'm new to this classic bike game and just want to get the bike nice and legal before i start working on it

I'm looking to replace my swingarm as it has a welded plate on the brake side which looks terrible. are all 500/550 swingarms the same size before i get one off ebay?? it is a early k0 bike.

Thanks Duncan

New Member Introductions / new guy saying hi! and would like a bit of advice!

So after a recent chance bid on ebay i have won a cb550 my plan is to do a resto mod build on it. This will be my first classic bike resto as my main passion is classic vw's.
Now onto the interesting stuff... the bike itself is a barn find with no documentation or v5 but has been MOT'd on the chassis number i have asked the seller for the chassis number/engine number so i could do a vin check and this was the reply

 "Hi yes both are present and original honda stamping it is a legitimate bike. Im afraid to say though i can't hand over the chassis number, I'm sure you're a genuine buyer but i can't take the risk of someone taking these numbers and using them on another bike. I got the bike in a part exchange and was going to be used as project but since changed plans".

am i right in being a little bit suspect? or should i just turn up and do the check whilst i am there and apply for a new v5? i take it this is do able off of the vin alone as it doesn't have a number plate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
