Sandcast projekt ....what to pay for?

[Sgt.Pinback]

Bonus is a nice airbox.

Until which VIN did thy had the 2- hole airbox?

[UK Pete]

Uli, i dont like the look of the 1 and the 3 digit on the vin
Here is mine for reference to the fonts

[Sgt.Pinback]

Thanks Pete.

I thought the "B" is odd, looks different on my diecast.
But same on yours.

The "9" looks special too, but again same on yours.

Pete, when you enlarge my pic and draw it under yours, you see "1", "3" "5" "0" are the same.

The good thing is, that I have most of the missing parts: new HM300, new red sponge Yamiya KO seat, double cut frnot fender, recessed ignition switch, rear KO chain sprocket,  a pair of newly chromed rims, a new painted ruby red paint set (by Menno, still in the box).

Forgot to say, I have a set of "28" carbs with 5mm throttle cable that cry to be used.

Hmm could be an interesting project Uli. Certainly looks all there...

If you are in it for profit/investment then get the sandcast. Otherwise your K0  is almost the same bike. Why not buy the rare 500K0 that Freddiethefatfrog  has?

[Bryanj]

What I don't like is the numbers do not appear to be in a straight line which is unusual for Honda BUT i have had no dealings with sancasts so perhaps they are different

[Sgt.Pinback]

Now I´m stuck....

Are there more VIN pics in the net? (Have to come to a conclution today).

Edit:

Taking a ruler on your pic....
What I (hope to) see: CB750-100 is strikt in-line, numbers thereafter differ slightly.

[Sgt.Pinback]

Answering my question concerning the gusset, it seems to be a correct SC frame

[Sgt.Pinback]

Found that one on sandcast.only

Again, CB750-100 strict inline, rest slightly different (?)

[Sgt.Pinback]

Fixed it. 

[UK Pete]

Yes gusset is correct Uli,and the early honda vins and engine numbers are always a bit off line, what is odd about your vin is the 1 and 3 look a bit odd, if you look at the first 1 it is correct the second one is a different font
 the 3 bottom half is correct but the top half of the 3 is not complete or the right shape, thing is if you have the correct paperwork, once the frame is painted it will be almost unnoticeable

Taking here out of a shelter full of bikes &  parts

[AshimotoK0]

Nice one Uli    I reckon with those great parts you have already, you will have a lovely example there.
