A bit more completed last night....got the clock lights working along with the dummy indicator lights and the full beam light. Ive ordered an aftermarket headlamp frame so i can drill holes in that to get the led indicators mounted - no idea how to do that yet as its different to my oem one....
On a side note mines now tax exempt and mot exempt....roo did explain a few weeks back but it was like water off a ducks back...i forgot everything he said...is there a procedure for doing this... ?

If you have a full UK registration document & mark:-
You need the Registration Document changed to Historical Class there is a way it will always work - the DVLA website does indicate you can do it at your local post office - this can be hit & miss.
Easiest way is to firstly get the bike insured fill out the standard taxation form (V10 )I think, fill in the change of taxation class on the V5 document, download from DVLA Mot exemption form. (V112)Post it to DVLA make sure you copy everything as they often do not send back your insurance certificate.
My new V5 came back inside 3 weeks - I tried to do it without my insurance cover - new V5 was returned without change of taxation class.

Thanks Ted.
So, first and foremost ive got to insure it? (its not on the road yet) obviously so ive not bothered....
I found this online https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/925057/v112-declaration-of-exemption-from-mot.pdf is that the one? assuming it is its a bit of a weird document in that i just give the reg and sign it...as if to say "yeah its all kosher..." !
1. Insure first.
2. Change state of V5
3. Delare it tax and MOT exempt
Oh it mentions taking a current MOT....that ive not got...ill go through my paperwork but i think ive got one from about 5 years ago when it was on the verge of being sold...
Does that sound right?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You will not need an Mot just the completed V112- on the V5C registration document, first inside page on the left section1 "change my vehicle details" in the box headed Tax Class write "Historic Vehicle" in the blue section box.
If you have changed the colour complete that section. If you have a different frame or engine number complete that section but make sure you include some sort of proof of purchase of the item.
I have done this only twice now on my bikes with no issues - the DVLA site implies you do not need Insurance except in N.I. - never worked for me on my 400 tried it two ways via Post Office & DVLA no joy until I included Insurance Certificate.
