I remember seeing this come up on ebay, how are you going to go about getting it regoed? does it have an engineers cert?
yes basically an engineers report will show that the frame etc is welded okay , that there is a sprung seat and that it meets the following requirements as listed by the NSW RTA which is bugger all really as motorcycle mods especially on older bikes are easy to pass as long as overall the motorcycle is safe and identifiable

2. Wheels and tyres
On all wheels (including any side-car wheel), the tyre size must be suitable for the rim. Each tyre and
rim must be strong enough to support the machine when it is fully loaded. Most major motor cycle
tyre specialists can tell you the right tyre and rim for your machine and the appropriate tyre speed
rating.
4. Mudguards
Mudguards must be fitted to all wheels (including side-car wheels). Each mudguard must be at least
as wide, over its entire length, as its respective tyre.
A front wheel mudguard must cover the rearward section of the wheel through the area between two
lines, one vertical and the other horizontal, both drawn through the centre of the wheel. If suitable
protection is afforded by the frame or other construction of the motor cycle, the front mudguard need
only cover the area that is unprotected.
A rear wheel or side-car wheel mudguard must extend at least from a point vertically above the front
of the tyre to a point vertically above the rear of the tyre. It must be mounted as close as practicable to
the tyre.
7. Frame or suspension modifications
Motor cycle design is a complex task. Before you modify your motor cycle’s frame or suspension, you
should be aware that structural changes to the frame, steering head, front forks, suspension, brakes or
wheels may load vital components well beyond the limits for which they were originally designed; this
will increase the probability of failure and will be a danger to the rider and to other road-users.
The RTA will register a modified motor cycle with a properly designed custom frame, extended forks
and structural modifications but only if submitted with a report from a recognised engineering signatory,
detailing the changes and showing that the changes have not made the cycle unsafe.
It is recommended that you seek the advice of an engineering signatory before the modification is
commenced. Vehicle Standards Information sheet No. 15 “Engineering Signatories” lists engineering
signatories recognised by the RTA.
8. Other requirements
a) If your motor cycle is fitted with a “sissy” bar, it must not extend above the rider’s head and
should not have any sharp points or edges.
b) Motor cycles with no rear suspension (that is, “hard tail”) must have a sprung seat for the rider
and, where a pillion seat is fitted, it must be sprung too.
c) Your motor cycle must be fitted with two braking systems; one capable of acting directly on the
front wheel and the other on the rear wheel. If a failure occurs in one of the braking systems,
then the other system must be operable.
