Title: Hi from sunny Blackburn.
Post by: mr wilkes on April 06, 2015, 10:45:12 AM

Hi Guys, was a member on here a few years ago but due to kids and stuff lost touch, I have a 1976 CB500 Four which I bought years ago and have restored over the years, I now want to get it on the road, I wrote to Honda for an age related document years ago and have that somewhere. Please can someone shead some light on the current process for getting an age related plate? last time I looked into it I got so frustrated that I just gave up! bikes been sat in garage ever since and its a real shame for it to be sat there doing nothing. Help!!!

A Few Questions before advice

(1) is this an imported bike and if so from where
(2) If imported do you have the customs/duty paid paperwork
(3) Is it ready for MOT

Can you give me the Frame number and engine number, privately in a PM if you prefer

You can edit pics and resize sorry I can't remember how. ::)
I tend to use photobucket now as it's much easier.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to explain how to do it.

Nice 500 Mr Wilkes

I like to think that I'll find one as good as that one day.

Meanwhile I have just recommissioned and registered (it took 10 days) a CB550 from the States.

See my thread here...
