hi guys
           whats my chances of getting hold of the logbook of a 1970 CB750 it went missing years ago, all i have is the engine and the rolling frame,both numbers are intact and not messed with, i have known this bike for about thirty years and it has been off the the road for some time and there is no reg number ,all i know it was a J registration and that the bike was originally red because i swapped some customised parts i had for his tank air box and fork shrouds over twenty years ago,  he did not have on the road at that time,i think i can get an age related plate but i would like too have the original and try and get a bit more of its history i have been told i can apply for logbook without the registration number and just use the frame number has anybody ever done this ? i will try and trace old logbook in mean time cheers steff

Bryanj:
If it never had a new style V5 the old registration cannot be traced by Swansea, so you will have to go the age related way with a proof of year letter, best one is from Honda, Mot and insurance on frame number and visit to the nearest VRO with tax and registration money.

If you want more details on hoew to ring me on 07795162623 Sunday to Thrursday inclusive AFTER 8pm, don't withold your number or i won't answer!!

Seamus:
I don't suppose you have an old tax disc or mot cert as these would give you your registration. After that, DVLA will not give out the registration based on the frame/engine numbers. I tried that with a bike about 5 years ago and the guy at Swansea knew the reg, but would not tell me and suggested the moy on the frame no etc approach.

Other clutch at straws could be an old photo if you could find one.

Best of luck

steff750:
thanks guys
                  i managed too trace one of the previous owners of the bike ,who did know the number plate,funny we all remember our best rides lol. a quick check with the DVLA confirms its a red HONDA750 registered in 1971 on a J plate last taxed 1988,so i could be in luck .

Seamus:
Luck certainly was on your side. Great result. Just £25 for a new log book then
