Cb 550f2 vin plate info
« on: January 22, 2017, 08:49:49 AM »
Hi
Can anybody show me a pic of a vin plate for a cb550 f2.
Mine has been removed by the previous owner for powder coating but I can still see the heads of the rivets where  it was located behind the right hand side panel.
I have the tax book with all the info and I see plates on eBay but I want to check they have the correct information for a UK bike.
Is there any other source for these vin plates if the eBay one doesn't have the right information for a UK bike.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help Neil but I need a good clear close up to see the information stamped on the plate.
Thanks

Someone will be able to confirm, but is that a from a UK bike? The wording looks American to me.

It does look American but that just could be the Engrish

That is a plate for/from a u.s. bike, the clues being federal regs, and U.K. bikes don't state year either.

That's what made me wonder.
It would be useful if year was shown on UK bikes, save all that faffing about trying to get a Dating Letter from Honda UK!
