Hi My name is Bob New to superdreams, been biking since 1973. I asked a question about my bike on another forum and was guided here My bike KUF195W which is now a bobber. Whoever did the original work on her did a fab job. there were some other bits added that were not quite as good, but I’m working my way through her and have her built and running. I have added a different custom seat and a Honda CM185T tank She is now registered as historic and taxed for free and MOT exempt (although she will be going for MOT next week) photos added the last pic is how she came to me from eBay regards Bob

Welcome Bob Have seen a few chop jobs on SDs and most don’t work IMO
Changing the tank just transforms the bike and it looks as if it was built that way - great decision - like it

Here she is as she stands this morning Job stopped as the fuel tap i bought does not fit. I fitted a CM185T tank (Thats what it was advertised as on ebay) but the fuel tap i ordered is the same as the superdream one. Not too much of an issue as i will use it on the superdream tank. any ideas on where to source/how to know its the correct one? I have a small number plate for her which looks much better, but she is going for MOT (even though she doesn't need one any more)

if you have a set of verniers you can measure the diameter of the fuel tap thread, that should help with ebay searches
