Help me clear up some v5 cofusion please!

(1/2) > >>

Dunk_B:
OK i have bought a cb550 that didn't come with the v5 document or plate now i am not sure if it is a us import or not, i did a vin check on the bike before i got it and everything seemed fine and i got a receipt of sale and an mot on the frame number.
Is there a definitive way of checking it is a UK bike? if so my plan is as follows (please correct me if I'm wrong)

.v62 document to transfer bike to my name.... i guess if its an import i wont get this correct?

.VJMC age related document

.apply for age related plate

what else is needed to get the bike registered if it is an import? i'm hoping its a uk bike but just want to be clear of anything i will need to do to get this sorted will it need a vosa check the bike itself is very original.

Thanks in advance I'm new to this classic bike game and just want to get the bike nice and legal before i start working on it

Bryanj:
If it is an import and you don't have the correct customs documents you cannot get it registered. if you send me the frame number via a pm i will see if it is in the ID book i have also a picture of the vin plate if it has one

royhall:
Sorry to hijack the thread but it seemed close to applicable.

How do you register a 1966 bike (non Honda) that does not have a frame number or paperwork or registration plate (it is a UK bike though).

Was going to buy another frame with paperwork and make a ringer, then scrap the other frame (cut it up good).

Sorry constable, Bryanj made me do it.  ;D ;D ;D

Bryanj:
Roy that wouldn't be a ringer as it would be a legal frame rebuilt with used parts and the easiest, legal, way to go. If you want to pm me the make I may have other more dubious ideas

haynes66:
the last tl125 i bought came from a copper who seemed glad to see the back of it. on stripping the engine, i came across a bit of tin plate with an engine number araldited to the engine. underneath that, the original number had been gouged away. i had to buy a set of engine cases and transfer everything over. the previous owner denied knowing about it!! but swapping frames isnt a problem providing everything else is legit.
