Days off are slim, riding down and back adds like 6 days realistically on a in the spirit bike. Not sure if an extra 2 or so days can be swung tbh I might have to fly/sit on the couch with a cup of tea tbh

You could probably show the frame number and supporting info from yamaha regarding deciphering year based on frame number. And of course that the vin is not tampered with/matches the frame number

"When a vehicle's details are recorded incorrectly on the Motor Vehicle Register (MVR), these can be corrected by sending an Application to Change Vehicle Details (form MR16, available at any New Zealand Transport Agency agent) to the NZTA Most MR16 forms need to be sent with supporting documentation to prove that the information recorded on the MVR is incorrect i.e. if the vehicle model is recorded incorrectly we would require documents from the manufacturer to prove this before a change would be made."

Wheels painted I panel glue urethaned the old tyres back on and ran a screw through the join. Will see how that goes Tried my hand at some gold leaf lettering, boy that shit sticks to everything. And added an Indian coin for a head badge. Anna's birthday in a couple weeks, just got to plate the bars and it's done. Supposed to have hubcaps on the rear wheels, but I only have one, will think about pewter casting another if I get time

Recovered the seat with some leather like it would have had originally Can't get the one rear wheel apart without breaking the spokes, so will paint them white rather than plating the hub and painting the rim. Same with the front, that will be white, polish the bearing retainers up and send it

Yeah there's more options for byo plate Keep an eye on hustle live for dealz @TimShadboltfan27 One foggy morning I applied too much throttle on my gn250 at a T intersection. Lit the rear wheel up and I very slowly pirouetted in front of an oncoming lorry full of bridge parts, thankfully the tyre heated up and I got traction at thr last minute -
