Hey guys....
I have been building my XS400 DOHC based chopper for a good while now.
It's in a Honda Nighthawk 650sc hardtailed frame,for which I have no registration docs or number plate for.
It has a frame number,so iv'e been working away,presuming that I will be able to contact the DVLA here in UK at some point,and get the original reg and logbook(title) for it.
I have just applied to the DVLA for this info,only to be told that the original bike(the nighthawk) has never been registered hear in the UK!!!
I'm guessing there is a good chance it's been imported from the US at some point,and never put on the road here.
Do you know how I could try to track down the Reg information in the US,using the frame number???...it is:
R008-2001622 The guy I bought it from said it was a Honda Nighthawk CB650SC-C and was a 1982 "ish"
Any help would be much appreciated as I will have to go through all kinds of hassle with the DVLA if I have to register the bike as a one off!!
Cheers
Roger
