Welcome Andy.
Can't help with Lightweight model parts but check if the reg'n is on the DVLA computer (link below). If it is you can get a duplicate log book from them.

https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax/

If it isn't, follow the dating info on this (Jampot) website here:

http://www.jampot.com/Dating.asp

Dating certs are much cheaper for subscribing members and access to club spares is also restricted to subscribers.
As a non member (i.e. non subscriber) your period for posting messages and questions on here is also limited.

Request for parts should be put in the 'Adverts' section - free to members, otherwise chargeable.

Many manuals for your bike are here, under 'Books'

Good luck with the rebuild!

I have no idea if this seller is any good or what their products are like but they do seem to have a good selection
of pistons as well as other stuff.

Andy , you say you are a subscribing member but you are showing up on the forum as a guest. This means you will not have access to part of the website reserved for paid up members. To sort this out email Eamonn on webmaster@jampot.com . We do not allow adverts on the general forum, although there is space for them in the members only section. We also have an advertising section which also results in the advert appearing in the magazine, which reaches a much larger proportion of the membership. Adverts are free for members but £5 for guests.
