Honda CB750K5 Restoration by Royhall
royhall:
Thanks Ash. I have just ordered a set of the CMS ones for just under £100. I asked a reviewer on the site and he said they were as good as originals which is a bold claim. We shall see when they arrive, but they are the correct USA switches as fitted now. I'm asking everybody if they have a spare K5 grab bar, failing that it's back to CMS for a repro one. I have only ordered the switches from CMS as a test to see what the import charges are going to work out at, but I noted they dropped the P&P down to a reasonable level.

To be honest I'm not sure why I'm so bothered by the switches. I'm on job number 6 and they are about job number 687, but for some reason they are on my mind.
Edit. Just realised that these are the things I either don't want to do myself or can't. Carbs, switches, clocks. My subconscious appears to be removing these jobs. How weird's that, and I never realised it.

Just received the NOVA number from the import agent. What's the routine these days for registering an import, it's been quite a few years since I did the last one and these things tend to change. The bike is nearly apart so is it better to wait for the bike to be complete or can I do it now. I have the official USA title for it and now the NOVA number. I would like to get it done now as looking at other posts it's taking ages, or is that just asking for trouble.
Sesman:
I can help here.
Fill in the V55 and append the NOVA number and VJMC letter of authentication. For VJMC you will need to supply engine number, frame number and photos of the bike, substantially complete- see their website for guidance.
The DVLA and customs have a common database, so it’s only the NOVA registration number they need.
The V55 is tricky and is populated by masses of superfluous information requests. Incorrectly complete this and you will enter a world of pain. I can provide a tick box guide if necessary.
Regards

Thanks for that. Why would I need a VJMC letter of authentication when I have the original USA title, that was always enough on previous bikes, has that changed.
