After 8 weeks the DVLA have rejected my application for a V5 because I don't have dating evidence. Can anybody tell me where I might get this please? I'm told that evidence from a reliable source such as an owners club will be considered. Could somebody point me in the right direction please?

Thanks for the responses, I've fitted a new diaphragm and cover plate but am still getting a drip, next thing is to remove from handlebars and try to trace the leak. I've also checked both callipers and replaced the pads as the originals seemed to be oily and there was a deposit of some sort on the discs. All cleaned and reassembled but the brake is still suicidal! Maybe I need to bed the pads in a little? Or maybe I'm expecting too much? My other bike is a BMW R Nine T with Brembos and will stop on a sixpence!

Hi I'm a new member having just bought a 1977 XS 750 Special imported from Colorado. I have a leak on the master cylinder, the diaphragm looks the worse for wear so have ordered a replacement but the leak seems to be coming from the joint between the plastic reservoir and the cylinder itself. Just seems to be a direct joint between plastic and metal. Should there be a seal between the two and if not should I be looking elsewhere? Thanks in advance for any help.
