I'm heading back to NZ in December and will be wanting to register and ride a 74 Z1 900 I sent back home earlier this year. What's the go with registering older bikes do I need to do full rego or is there a cheaper option, I'll only be in NZ about a month a year for now. Also who is the best Insurance company to insure an older bike with?

While I was busy working on stripping my fork down for the project CBR400RR NC29 I of course need to order parts and so during that downtime I was busy working on the clocks, lights and front fairing stay mounts and brackets for the bike. The brackets were in an abysmal state as you can see here:




The front of the clocks look bad enough but the backs a total mess.
