- Clocks: should I just leave them as they are? Guess I could buy those off ebay and put them on when my bike reaches 16,000 - but that's £200. I'm planning a long Euro trip on it in the summer, KM tripmeter might be quite handy![/l][/l][/l][/l]
I'd leave them. You know it is KM. May have a minor issue when selling, but the bike has only done 3/5 of the mileage you thought, so that's a bonus.
- Headlights: They don't appear to dip down either side, I'll check next time I'm out at night - I guess this would have been picked up in previous MOTs.
Mine are flat too. Never used a beam defelector in Europe.
Not sure about the removal, but if you are going that far I would strongly recommend an Ivanisation (loads of threads on it - search this site for Ivans kit)
- Legal stuff: Do I need to tell the DVLA? Do I need to tell my insurance?
Don't think DVLA are bothered where it came from. If it was new, just not officially imported then I don't think any DVLA records will show this. DVLA will already know if the bike was imported as a second hand bike.
Insurance will (officially) need to know if you were asked if it is an official UK import and model (sometimes you are asked), if they did not ask, they don't need to know.
Grey imports used to be worth less based on the fact they cost less when new I think, but since the £ weakened against the € there are less and I don't know what the situation is now - but it has done 3/5 of the mileage so...
- Ask the obvious: Should I just stop worrying about this, and get out and enjoy what is a cracking bike on a nice sunny March morning?!
Probably. And lets face it, 104bhp is enough for the real world as long as the smell of garlic is not too much
