That's fantastic Trigger and something to aim for. I have the same engine crash bars and a period 'screen flow' topbox (think i'll give that a miss)Should i rechrome the rims which are corrosion (and chrome) free, or go for new with stainless spokes? Now the questions have started ha ha. Huge gratitude for all your input. David M
The vin quoted was probably BUILT in 11/71 as one starting 1048 was (US bike confirmed by vin plate)That means it could be a late K0 or an early K1 as the model build year usually started late the year before so they could be on the sales floor early in the model year. My ID book gives start of model year numbers but i don't got it to handEDIT 2Just found book, anything starting 1 is K0, 2 is K1 (starts 4/72), 21 is K2(unless in UK)
Engine: 2153097Frame: 2064562Seems to suggest I have a K1 frame with a K2 engine, but I honestly have no idea how AUS bikes were originally set up.There is no compliance plate on the steering yoke, but I believe these didn't come into play until 1973 in AUS.
Thanks for that Graham! It's nice to know the bike isn't a "bitser"!According to CMSNL's list, only the US got the K2. I don't know how accurate that list is. I imagine Bryan would have a pretty good idea though.
Just out if interest Delta, do you own Honda4fun or work on a commission from them?, as you reference them regularly.
have rarely found anything on the site that I haven't been able to find elsewhere,
and as with most other sites their information can be totally misleading at times.
