Assuming you don't want a hard wired one for the bike and just something for your pocket, what about a second hand gopro  from ebay?

CB350/400 / Re: Road Tax- 1978 registered bike-400/4
« on: January 01, 2020, 01:34:34 PM »
Hi- Has anyone had any problems with road tax and the 40-year Rule?
My 400/4 according to my log book was registered 1st in September 1978
However, I recived a V11 today to ask me to pay for road tax.
i called the DVLA and they said becuase their databse states my bike wasnt actually registered until December of 1978...? despite the log book suggesting differently, I have to go to a tax office and get a new log book?

Sound a load of beuracratic b**** to me, but has anyone else had simlar experience?
My cb550 is registered and manufactured  1st January 1978 according to the v5. In may 2018 I tried to get it registered historic and they told me their data base said December 1978 and cos of that it was not 40 year old. Even although the v5 from them said 1st January 1978.  This was an arguement I was not going to win. So I decided to wait until may 2019. Then the process went through smoothly.  I share your pain.

Officially K4 never came to UK only US but looks nice, remember to ride it very regularly or those carbs will drive you nuts

I believe it started its life in Canada.

The odd bike of clean up and painting but mainly polishing and riding.

Where do you get the rubbers from the air box to the carbs. I have just bought my bike and I could do with replacing one of them.

In this day and age of facebook and other platforms it is good to see a busy old style forum.

My name is Bob. I live in central Scotland. I have just bought two bikes as part of my treat from my pension. One being a Yamaha 900 tracer.

But the other, and the reason for being here, is a 1978 Honda CB 550k4. It just got delivered 26/9/17 and I love it.
