Subject: Australian RD07 needs a Speedometer & Stuff


Hi from Australia!,

I am wondering if anyone may be able to help me.

I am currently trying to gain approval from the government to register my
newly imported RD07A. As Honda has never sold the bike in Australia (even
though it is ideally suited for this country. I am having to have the bike
tested fully, which is very expensive. We have very strict regulations here.
I have two major hurdles at the moment.

1. Could anyone possibly enquire for me as to how to get hold of the ECE
certification documents. These are the documents produced specifying that
the bike passes the EU tests (I Think)

2. Has anyone got for Sale a Km/h speedometer, or an exhaust side headlight
lens. I would be willing to swap my speedometer (in Mp/h) for a km/h one. 

I have had two transalps in the last 5 years and was certain there was no
better bike. We here like the Americans, only got the transalp in 87-88 so
my transalp was getting a little old (not tired though!!) It was on a recent
trip to Europe that I discovered the A-Twin, and after riding my new one, I
am happy to say it is a suitable replacement. I just need to get the thing
registered now!

I would be so grateful for any help with regards to these matters.

Regards,

Michael Richards
