Honda-SOHC

Hi
I had bought a bike in bits from EBay a while ago but the seller didn't have a V5 or remember the reg number !! Stupidly  bought it thinking I could just apply for a reg number
 from the frame number !!

Ooh no I can't !! It seems that the DVLA have no record or the frame number, I contacted the Police thinking it was nicked but after checks it seems the bike was never registered in the UK but Honda Japan could tell the Police that it is a 1975 bike from the frame number .
The prob I have now is how the hell do I get a reg number ,I'm told I need to get it mot ed on the frame number and insure it on that number also. Will I still need dating certificate etc if the police have been in touch with DVLA and confirmed the age ?
Do I need to get it verified by Honda owners club ??
Any ideas will be much appreciated

looking at doing a cafe racer and dont have a front mud gaurd for my CB750 F1 ,i peersonally think they look good without a front mud gaurd ,apart from the obvious stopping water does the metal inside brace really  make that much differance ? or could i just not have a front mud gaurd ? not riding it in the wet etc.
If a fork brace would be better then weres the best place to get one, or if anyone has an old CB750 F1 front gaurd that will pass on to a good cause,I will be chopping it smaller so not that bothered what state its in (must include the metal bracket )

Thanks

Hi
Doing a mad convention on a F1 where I'm using another oil tank the other way round with the back ( was the front ) cut out to cover the electrics  on the left hand side ! Brackets welded on the frame to look very like the otherside . ( bare look without the covers )
I need an alloy dipstick to match the real one in the real tank ,the "project" tank had a rubbish plastic one ..

Not bothered in the stick itself is damaged only need the top

Anyone out there got a spare one for sale

Cheers Amos

Ill post pictures if anyone's interested ?

Hi 

Just bought a SOHC engine for my new project,the guy tells me that the engine hasnt been run for  good few years but from memory when it did run last it burnt oil quite badly !! the exhaust ports do look oily (all 4)
any usual problems valve stem seals etc ? valve guides ? not sure how many miles it has done though.
will be taking the sump off in a couple of weeks and checking in there before sliding it into a frame to see how bad it does smoke and see if there is any oil presure which is always a good start..
how easy is it to get a set of rings for these nowadays ?

Thanks again and look forward to posting some pickies when I start the project after my hols.

N.B given up on the idea of fitting a rear disc on my K5 !! dont want to mess with it as its soooo shiney 

Amos

Hi

Anyone got any instructions for such a thing ..

Part on eBay is half the price of any I've seen !!!!

Thanks

Anyone done anything like this ??
