WLA UK registration issue   Printable Version Harley Davidson >> Harley Davidson Motorcycles >> Classic >> Flathead >> WLA UK registration issue Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> WLA UK registration issue - 4/22/2008 2:49:54 PM    youngjohn   Posts: 2 Joined: 4/20/2008 Status: offline Another question regarding my WLA. It's been stood around for donkeys years, and has no registration plate or V5. What's the best way to register it, since it doesn't have a 'correct' engine number, but it does have the belly number indication that it is a 1945. I'd obviously like to avoid a 'Q' plate, but if it did get a 'Q', would it have to meet modern specs? (indicators etc). Any help appreciated. Thanks.
