Kawasaki Triples Club

Hi

just finished my HID 1973 purchased from Direct bike imports Worcs Canadian import with Nova

I sent off to the DVLA with my £55 quid to get it registered along with nova etc
but they have sent it all back saying I need proof of dating or though I did send original Canadian registration slip with all the bike details including date OF 1ST reg in Canada.

can I get proof of manufacturing date from this club I see it appears on the DVLA list of approved clubs

thanks

You need to message Rick Brett for a dating certificate

thank you

not much luck with that
email address bounces back email not excepted copied and pasted from here and private messages keeps freezing and wont take pics even when reduced sizing .

I have just messaged Rick on Facebook
Hopefully he'll be on here soon

I have to complete a letter of explanation because the US v5 slip I have is a copy

any body had any experience of writing one of these successfully

thanks

I just wrote a letter that explained I bought the bikes in Canada and the seller could not locate the titles but had provided a bill of sale at the time of purchase which he provided by email. Attached that to the form, my proof of ID and one of Ricks dating certs. DVLA Processed the first bike after inspection but still awaiting the second. There really does seem to be no logic to the process!

just done my h1b all forms and certificates ,was sent back to me because I did not say that I never had the usa title but had sent Kawasaki uk dating certificate, 3 phone calls and a inspection of the bike and 10 weeks later the v5 turd up, I think even thou no mot is needed now it a good idea to have one done so they can see the bike numbers match and the bike is road worthy, think this may stop the inspections phil

I've never had a problem. I always include a covering letter something like this .....

I had same experience. Bought my H1D from DK in July. Came with NOVA certificate. They advised contacting KMUK for a letter of manufacture date. Provided Engine / Frame numbers to KMUK, who had to contact Japan head office. Had to pay £54. Took about 2 weeks, but received the letter. Sent that, along with application, explanation why I hadn’t got US paperwork, and £55. Went off to Red Bull Ring for Moto GP, expecting V5 to be on the mat on my return, but no, only a rejection letter for all the same reasons. So I copied the original sellers advert which explained what documents were available, and re-submitted to DVLA, along with another explanation, no different to the original. Finally, after a total of 6 weeks, the V5 arrived. I was concerned that I could only sparsely complete the application form, because there wasn’t much of it that was relevant. There was a guy on YouTube that explained what he did. He had the original US docs.
