On the VIN plate. Drill the rivets out first, then get some very thin metal wire and try and 'cut' the adhesive backing off behind the vin plate using the profile of the headstock to avoid damage to the vin plate...worked well for me (after I botched a K0 vin plate first time round duh...).

You could also try the first part of the above with the rivets and then a hair dryer on the plate to get some heat in it.
This sofens the adhesive so you can get it off.
Always worked for me.

Great to see you back building Phil. I love this thread of yours.

Only other suggestion would be to remove the rivets, then heat up the plate with hairdryer, once heated up strip some old electrical wire and use in a sawing action behind the vin plate through the glue, keeping the wire tight to the frame. May work?.

Made some mounts for the mudguard today. Managed to get the look I wanted.
Not got my oil tank or battery tray at my house currently so need to check there's no interference - little worried about the oil tank not fitting properly now..
If needed I'll cut the mudguard down and move the brackets.
Almost ready for paint (after I've made some new seat pan mounts) now just need to make sure I haven't overlooked anything. If anyone spots something then please pipe up!
