Just the exhaust heat shields and rechromed fork ears to fit and CB250T Bike 1 is complete







Bike 2 CB250T is in boxes but will be next and last project bike built out of the bits left over so it will not be original by anyway

I got a pair from DS and they are fine




I rechromed an original front cost 90.00 DS new rim cost 90.00 (in the end used DS and kept the rechromed one for later)
I used stainless spokes and nipples for ease of cleaning and hopefully they should last longer

Yes they are date stamped on the side of the rim,but they are DID rims like originals

Misc / Open / VHI Registration 2018
« on: February 27, 2018, 12:04:47 PM »
My CB250T was registered October 77 so I took V5 to Post office to change taxation class.

Sorry bike has no MOT so it cant be done - Contact DVLA

Tried the CB750 F1 Registered February 1978 - Sorry You will have to contatc DVLA

Contacted DVLA - Advice as today presently advised change date stands of 1st May 2018

CB250T - If the bike has a valid MOT Post offfice will change to VHI  or If I wait untill 1st of May 2018 I can take it to post office  and update to VHI with No MOT or Road Tax

(No Rush will wait till May)

CB750 F1 - If I can get the date of Manufacture and send it to DVLA after the 1st May 2018 they will review and update to VHI with No MOT or Road Tax

Searched forum for who to get manufacturers dating confirmed - No Joy if anyone knows?

Cheers

CB750 / Re: CB750 F1 Clutch Slip/Gone
« on: November 22, 2017, 03:11:29 PM »
All fitted and working just a bit of adjustment to do

It was a straight forward enough exchange 

The bike had 29k on before the clutch went so i think thats reasonable for a 40 year old bike

CB750 / CB750 F1 Clutch Slip/Gone
« on: November 12, 2017, 04:56:56 PM »
Just had a fantastic ride out at Squires remembrance ride 2017 with Son & his wife
Keith Jnr on his cb750 f1 and me on mine,Keiths wife on her BMW F650

Unfortunatley Keith jnrs carbs were eratic causing a few issues along they way
When we got to the end of the ride my clutch started to slip and it wasnt adjustment not bad i suppose 29k on clock and 40 years wear if its original to bike
Nice trip home riding without clutch and trying to keep revs down on hills.

Not changed a bike clutch before But have the special tool from when i did the springs 18 months ago.

New plates soon to be onorder from DS any tips?

Just received log book for first CB250 Dream we have restored from DVLA
It was first registered October 1977  The irish plated Purple one we started with was a 1979

The now red one has the matching frame and engine and starting to look good with all the right bits in place

So if I am right in October this year she will become a Historic Vehicle and Tax-Free

Is it just a change on the V5 or something more in depth to change taxation class?

Cheers Drew Fully agree I like stock finish myself

Remember moped days  well - if it was a big hill start pedalling - mine was a mobylette belt driven.

I changed the head over, I cant remember off what to get a bit more speed must have taken me to 30 mph on a down hill with wind behind me

Started work on the paint and thought i would ask piki for a price on decals if he could help out

Quick response and he can do some parts for me and will look into tank decals.

He is posting me what he can and instead of payment suggested for a donation to the site

Excellent member of the forum helped me out and the forum.

Thanks Piki
