bikerburke:
HI ALL .AS MY POST SAYS IM LOOKING TO CHECK THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE OF MY CB500/4 .THE LOG HAS IT BEING REGISTERED ON THE 3/7/1973 IM SURE IVE SEEN IN ONE OF THE POSTS THAT ONE OF YOU GUYS CAN CHECK THE YEAR OF MAUFACTURE IF I CAN SUPPLY THE FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS AND YOU CAN CHECK IF IT WAS MADE BEFORE JANUARY 1973 AND SUPPLY THAT IN SOME OF PROOF.OF COURSE THAT MEANS I COULD POSSIBLE GET FREE ROAD TAX? OR AT LEAST THE OLD BLACK AND WHITE NUMBER PLATE WHICH WOULD COOL ON THE BIKE.IM GOING TO BE OFF WORK FOR 3 WEEKS LEAVE AND IM HOPING TO GET THE CB ON THE ROAD BY THE END  OF IT. ;D THANKS IN ADVANCE MICK

Mike dont shout (turn off the caps lock) I have a list of early numbers and can tell you how to get the proof you need, registered on 3/7 may not be 72 but it is possible.

Email me direct with the number if you dont want to post it here

hi,
   i obtained verification of date of manufacture through VJMC, i had to provide photographs of engine and frame numbers also of the bike itself, the then provide a franked certificate to confirm the bike has "historic vehicle" status.  look on site www.vjmc.com, was told by local tax office i had to insure, mot, tax the bike then claim back, as yet i have'nt done so.

Bryanj:
I thought VJMC only gave Model year, only people i know that get the actual Manufacture year correct is Honda

bikerburke:
sorry about shouting ::) thanks all for info ,  tho i had a look on the internet and found the usa SOHC/4 Owners Club Web Site on there they gave a list of  the honda cb500 frame/engine numbers and any with numbers CB500-2100001 on were made in in 1973.mine are frame CB500-220249** engine CB500e-220249** so unless the uk model is different it looks as if mine is a late 1973 manufactured year. thanks again Mick
