Finally retired and building my project bike

<< < (11/11)

gamma:
Indicators done.
Getting closer to starting the engine.  I’ve put a very small squirt of diesel and 2 stroke oil in the bores and turned the motor on the starter. Oil light went out after about three bursts.

gamma:
After getting the bike running and balancing the carbs and fitting the unpainted fairing and seat just over a year ago. I’ve been busy with other projects and family stuff, but now I have been looking at trying to get this bike registered in Spain.
As it was built from parts from a scrapyard in Saudi Arabia, I have no paperwork.  And after speaking to various people here in Spain, it would seem that the best way forward is to get a UK Frame and V5, and to swap everything over onto the donor frame, then import the bike officially as a cafe racer from the UK.
Getting a Spanish donor frame with paperwork is difficult, I have tried, and then I would have to jump through many hoops to register all the changes from standard.
So if anyone on the forum has or knows of someone willing to sell a CB750 F1 frame and V5.
Please let me know, thank you

Sifu:
Very nice bike mate

Oddjob:
There is a firm in Holland I think selling a wet sump conversion kit for the 750, means you can get rid of the oil tank from under the seat area. Just in case that idea appeals to you. Kit is called Sump Thing and appears to be very well made and good comments coming out of the USA about how it performs.

Thank you Sifu and Oddjob😃
