Hi I Recently (6 months ago) posted this on another forum.....may be useful info for someone.
Cheers

This is how i filled in my V55/5 and was successful so must be somewhere near. I'm certainly no expert at this, i've done it a couple of times using info gleaned off various classic bike/car sites and forums.
Also, these answers will only apply to a bike that is over forty years old, applying for first registration in the UK and with no original (non UK) documents.
You will need the NOVA cert and a dating letter.
Make sure you use the latest issue v55.........currently 8/18 (top r/h/s)

Firstly, in the box in the top right hand side of page one, state the country that the bike was purchased from. I stated the country it had come from even though i purchased it from a UK dealer.
Second, tick the RHD box underneath.

You only need to answer the following questions:

Q2...."Historic"
Q4....Tick the Registration fee box.
Q6...."Yamaha" / "Honda" or whatever.
Q7...."XT500" / "CB750" or whatever.
Q8...."Motorcycle."
Q9...."2 Wheel".
Q10...Main colour of bike.
Q11... "Exempt".
Q18..."2".
Q27..."19XX".
Q31..."Petrol."
Q32...Full frame number.
Q33...Full engine number.
Q34...Engine cc.
Q57...First half of your postcode.
Q62...Fill in your details.
Q63...Your date of birth.
Q64..."Pre-dates type approval"
Q65.. The mileage.

SIGN and DATE the form.

My covering letter / note was worded:

Please find enclosed completed V55/5.
I have enclosed a Dating Letter from .......... because the original non UK registration documents were unavailable.
I have listed Tax Class as historic because the motorcycle is over 40 years old (Manuf. 19XX).
For the same reason i understand that an MOT certificate is not required.
I also understand that i no longer need to enclose my insurance certificate.
Many Thanks.
Contact Details. Tel..... Mobile..... Email......

Make sure you send...Completed V55, Covering letter, Dating letter, NOVA certificate, Photocopy of your photocard driving licence and a cheque for £55.

Hope this helps

Hi, just in the final stages of fine tuning my carbs, could someone please confirm which way I need to adjust to richen / lean up.
I've read some richen when screwed in and some when screwed out.
The bike is a 750K5. I've attached some photos to help identify.
Many thanks
Phil

Sorry if this has been covered before but bear with me please 
I'm having a few problems making them fit and would like to ask a question regarding the left hand upper.
Can i ask if anyone has a set of 341 repo's on their 750 would they be kind enough to take a look at the left upper and see where the top seam lies.
On my original set of exhausts the seam is directly in line with the end of the footpeg bracket stud.

But on the repo one the seam is about 15mm further out from the end of the stud.

I would be interested to know if they are all like this or just mine because one issue i'm having is the side stand hitting the pipe.
Many thanks in advance
Phil
