hello, im new to the forum.
So. i wanted an old British motorcycle , I have been looking on and off for the past couple of years , two weeks ago a did a bid on a old Norton thinking " no chance i will ever win ", guess what , i am here now . The machine its split in two ,engine and frame, plus some other random bits that i am still sorting trough. The bad news is i have no V5 and no plate number, it has been sitting on a garage for quite some time but previous owner says it was working before it was taken apart .
I guess the first step is to register it and get a plate V5 in my name so i can get on the road as quick as possible . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Numbers first
Get your numbers checked out at records to find out the year of manufacture. I have no idea about this model but I guess frame and engine should match. Armed with that information it may be possible to raise its original registration mark but if not an age related one. Records people will advise.
Then get a compatible parts book for your machine and start identifying what you have, and label them with their part number. Segregate drive train, hardware and tinwear, then you know what you need to search for within those categories.
Attention if it's in bits THERE WAS a reason for it. Be vigilant inspecting each part. Where are you located Antonio? Other manners may be close by.
