Hi trigger, think the 17 digit vin came in early 80s. But seen a few US 350s with a plate on offside of head. Just wondering if the uk 250s had them and what info was on them.

The bike I’m restoring at the moment, cb250k3 1971, only has a stamped in chassis number on the nearside of the head stock.
Did these bikes also have a plate attached to the offside of the headstock? If so what info was on that plate and where can I source one?
Thanks

Thanks for that, I’ll get a better idea of what actually needs doing when I start in the engine properly

My intention is to get the cam and rockers re chromed and profiled as well as replace all bearings, rebore etc. Using this first restoration as a steep learning curve so hopefully my next one will be easier and hopefully cheaper 😉
But will probably be just as hard and expensive. 😀

Bought a CB250K3 which though Mot’d and running was a bit of a dog and showed it’s age. Mileage? Anyone’s guess as Mot s showed anything from 34,000 to 8,500 and back up 🤔. Visible problems, crappy paint, hand painted frames, dented and rusted chrome. Starter motor removed!
Rode home but pretty gutless, checked compression down from 170psi to 90psi. Squirted some oil down the bores no change in compression so probably valves, last owner did say he had just done some work on the valves.
Any way now all stripped down and intend to do a complete restoration. wish me luck 😀
