Hi Sticks,

First of all, could you write in normal case, all upper case is SHOUTING.

But anywho, we did discuss this in this thread http://www.honda-sohc.co.uk/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=157&func=view&id=555&catid=1#555
But didn't get anywhere then either.

I do remember StreveD, saying that the E meant 'Export', are you trying to find out if the engine or the whole bike is an import

Sticks,
Numbers probably are correct for UK bike. One way of telling(not infalable) is are the rear indicators attached to the back light mounting bracket? as opposed to attached to the grab rail, if attached to grab rail it is probably a US bike. Other way is if it is non UK bike, there may be a vin plate showing date of mftr on head stock? Also, do lights have on/off switch?
