Phil Read Replica bits

UK Pete:
Check the registration with the dvla online, the standard service is free it will tell you if the bike exists on their records and tax status, if its there then apply for your v5 and make sure the numbers are the same.

Robbo:
Bike exists under the right number plate but the online check I did wouldn't say if it was a PPR.

Pics of the exhaust would be great, and info on tank as ever.

UK Pete:
Hi Robbo, i cant get to where i stashed the exhaust, i am quite badly injured from a recent bike crash, however i will get my son to have a look for me soon,
I dont think the log book will say its a PPR anyway, it will probably just be registered as a Honda cb750, wether its original  ppr or not does not make a huge difference, as they are simply a 1978/79 F2 with a few bolt on changes, they came with Girling gas shocks, rear sets using redrilled original hangers, complete fairing , a seat and tail piece,front guard, a very unique set of ace bars, ignition switch mounted in the left of fairing, and of course the lovely hand built ally tank, as long as you have or get the above on your bike it will be as good as any thing else out there, there have been a few in recent years on ebay which although original have lots of changes, the exhausts rotted away in the first couple of years and so most are hand made sort of copies, i have two pipes actually one is in ordinary steel not original but looks good and the other one i had made per spec from stainless steel i have a picture of my stainless one for you to see below it is at the moment on my F2,

Robbo:
Thanks for the info! It has everything bar the tank, the ignition is also on the bars although there looks to be some kind of repair inside the left fairing so I suspect it was there once. Either way I prefer having the key there as it's a lot less fiddly.

Your exhaust looks great! A quick spray of black engine paint and no-one would tell...

I sent off an email to colin seeley today to see if he could shed any light on the tank - I've spent roughly 20 hours looking for one online, I missed a job lot on ebay it seems. If I haven't found one by the time the rest of the bike is done I might have to ask for dimensions and pictures so I can make my own fiberglass version.

It's such a great looking bike, I can't wait to ride it!

Fair play to Pete he hasn't missed out one bit on the description, i've had a Britain [ same thing barring exhaust and paint job ] You will have some fun on that and turn some heads good look with it. Tom. PS a Pic would be nice.
