I haven't been on much lately, but a few quid donation is cheaper than a yearly magazine subscription. Just think of all the information you have here on tap!

Just keeping everyone up-to date on the import process of my Honda.
Brief history.
1971 CL350K3 Street Scrambler.
Imported from U.S to South of Ireland 2005.
Bought the Honda and took her home to Northern Ireland 12th April 2014.
The only document I have is a S Ireland tax book.
Stage1 HMR&C (SORTED)
Used the HMR&C (NOVA) online service. Very easy to use with immediate reply.

VIN: CL350-------
Thank you for your vehicle notification.
Based on the information you have provided to HMRC, an application can now be made to register and licence the vehicle with Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Please note that certain vehicle information will be shared with DVLA for registration and licensing purposes.
HMRC have reviewed your vehicle notification and are satisfied that no VAT is due.
You should allow 48 hours from the time you receive this notice before applying to DVLA.
Stage 2 (SORTED)
Notified insurance (25th April) and added the CL350 onto my policy.
Insured for thirty days on its chassis number.
Stage 3 (SORTED)
MOT was booked on its chassis number and passed OK on the 26th April.
Now at Stage 4.
To obtain an Age related Registration in N.I. i need to complete and supply the following documents to The Association of Old Vehicle Clubs in N.I.
V3 and V55/5 form, MOT, insurance, Irish Registration book, cheque for £75 made out to AOVC and cheque for £55 made out to DVLA.
All originals of above go to the address at the top of the V3 Form. An Inspector will then phone me to make an appointment to inspect the bike at my home.
They normally do the inspection within days of receiving the paperwork and process this inside 48 hours.
It can then take DVLA in Coleraine (N.I.) anything from 7 days to several weeks to allocate the number depending on how busy they are.
Hopefully by the May I will have the Honda registered with a N.I. age related.

Lobo am I right saying I can apply for the MOT now before I get any reference from HMRC to proceed?

I was really hoping to get a Co Armagh number (my local) or at least a 71 age related Northern Ire plate. But if Coleraine is thinning i might end-up with a K reg.
A lot better than a new 2014 plate off the shelf!

1971 Honda CL350
Lobo I know you have explained a lot of my question already, but someone on here may have some extra info to suit my situation?
Over the weekend I picked up a 1971 Honda CL350 Street Scrambler advertised on Done Deal in Southern Ireland. I live in the Northern Ireland.
Looks like I'm going down the same road as Lobo, but hopefully mine won't take a year to process!
The Honda was first imported from the U.S.A into Southern Ire 18 Nov 2005 and given the Irish registration number ZV 7893 (South Ire age related plate for 1971) Date of first taxed in Southern Ire OTR 12th Oct 2006. It wasn’t taxed this year but the owner said it was taxed a couple of years age.
The only documents I have for the CL350 is the Irish registration tax book, which states has all the above info.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
The first thing in need to do is inform HMRC (NOVA) I've imported a motorcycle from South Ire (one of the EU countries) into the North Ire within the next 14 days. They will hopefully add the CL350 onto their system and send me a reference number and in due course I take this to the DVLA as proof of all duty has been paid. Do I pay duty or Vat on a January 1971 Honda? Anybody know?
Ask recognised classic motor-vehicle club to issue age related certificate for Japanese motorcycle to help obtain a UK registration.
Not sure if I need this certificate, the info is on the Irish tax book?
Apply for an MOT using the Honda's frame number.
Only when it's cleared HMRC can I apply for a MOT?
Once passed take the MOT cert along with insurance, V55/5 form and a V3 form to DVLA (NI) who will issue a registration number.
I think the V3 form is only used in N Ireland?
We use a V3 when you applying for an age related number plate if the vehicle is imported from the EU into the North Ire? Anybody know?
One of my biggest concerns is when registering the Honda for the first with DVLA (NI) will they only issue a 2014 registration number or would I be issued an age related (1971) number? I hear there's no guarantees they will issue an age related number!
A 2014 issued registration number on a classic bike looks completely wrong.
Maybe I could register the Honda in Swansea? more chance of an age related plates!
Has any of the lads from the North (Ire) already gone down this road?

Looks like they will clean the very best, I submerged them in water for 15 min's they all still float no sinkers. Once I get my new carb leaf springs & pins eat a few Easter eggs then I'll crack on with my carb build!

First part of the cleaning process finished, as Les said "check every orifice" before a start my rebuild. I'll need all the help I can get!!
Will be very satisfying to hear the CB fire up after nearly 15 off the road.

I'm in Antrim most of the the day (work place) won't be home until six. I'm not beat on this one yet, just a little blind on the task ahead. That can be a good-thing sometimes!

Admittedly I didn't know what an emulsion tube looked like until I stripped the carbs. SOHC forum & YouTube are the best tools in my box. I ain't got the experience you guys have!

Striped down the carbs today on my 1976 CB550F, the plan is to get them ultrasonic cleaned and then the challenge of rebuilding!!!!!
I notice a few issues already!!
So the basic carb rebuild kit isn't going to be enough!!
Looks like I need new.
floats x 4No.
The spring clip that sits below the float (name?) 2No looks correct, 1No looks to be from a different carb? and one is missing.
Need to buy 2No (pictured)
Also the holder that keeps this spring clip in place one is missing.
Need to buy 1No (pictured)
So now that the carbs are strip this far, I only want to do this job once, all advice is welcomed.
