That rings a bell, in 1985/6 the petrol tank on my F1 started leaking by the tap, so I scanned through MCN and there was an ad for Honda parts, so I bought and F2 tank and seat from David Silver Spares for a bargain price.

Well i had the morning off to do battle with the DVLA, i went up there armed with what i thought was everything needed to register my k1,
so i got in there real early before they opened i was six in the que and got seen to real quick, (not like the other day i was no 70 so i gave up) i presented my paperwork they checked it and said thank you sir all looks ok you should have a registration in about 5 days .
Surely its not that easy, i am one of those people that seems to have the bad luck when it comes to having the wrong form or filled in questions wrong, but this time i think im a winner, so hopefull i can get a plate made up next week and be on the road.

Hey Pete

Nice wheels fella.  Just a quick note on registration - I've just been through the process myself with a '72 CB450, which only came with a receipt and a dating certificate.  I'd been told it was going to be a nightmare 'cos it was a US market only bike and I could really have done with an import certificate . . .

 . . . anyways, it turned out that no-one was particularly bothered about that bit.  Like you, I took all the documents to the DVLA (I'm guessing you went to the Sidcup office as well) and they accepted pretty much everything I presented. However, I got a letter a few days later to say they wanted to inspect the bike.  Not a big deal - I stuck it in the back of a van and trundled to the Maidstone DVLA office (one of the few round here that does inspections) and was treated to something of an anticlimax . . . 'inspection' in DVLA speak translated to checking the frame and engine numbers against the documents I had provided previously.  The whole inspection took no longer than three minutes - and the V5, revised MOT and tax disc were issued two days later.

Here's hoping your experiences are equally straightforward.

Nice one neil, yes it was the sidcup ofice, i can walk to it i am so close, if i have to go to maidstone to get it checked then its not too bad,
i have been told that sometimes they check and other times they dont, i am itching to get out on the road with this bike so any delays will be dissapointing
