The MC28 I'm importing from Japan has a black, non working screen which is a shame. The chap out there said they aren't being made any more so I'd have to find a second hand one or get broken one fixed.
I don't suppose anyone has got a spare screen module have they?
There's one on the Japanese auctions right now but I can see me getting outbid for it.
Has anyone fixed one of these screens?
Here's a couple of pics of my new bike. It needs tidying up but that's part of the fun.
The bike will be going on the boat in the New Year, so I should prepare in getting it registered. The lady at the DVLA said I'll need to show proof of year of manufacture. The chap in Japan says very few auction bikes come with paperwork so the year of manufacture can be established by reading the dates on the brake cables, which are generally made the year before the bike is made, which makes this bike a 1995 bike.
Does this all sound normal process to you guys? As it seems a bit weird to me. I don't really want to have a Q plate on my bike. The frame numbers are all present and correct.
Any help with the dark art of importing bikes would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rich
