If it is a 78 US model it will be a F3 This may help you Identify it.

More likely an "old stock" bike, they did not sell that well an Honda was discounting the last of the F2 to dealers when the dohc came out in 78

it is a UK model, i know that for sure. just been out to the garage this morning to try and work out a game plan and to see what is missing/broken. this is a long term project. so i just plan to buy things when there is spare money, the fuel tank is missing a small bit of paint and has started to rust, so i want to get the tank off and properly resprayed. the frame is in pretty good condition so once i get it all stripped i might just need a bit of tidying up, all the chrome will need to be removed and boxed up to go to the mainland to get re-chromed. wheels off and sorted, who ever put in the clocks has hacked at the wiring so i think im just gonna put in a whole new loom then i shouldnt have any problems. and like i said if im going to do it, i may as well do it properly. overall im not worried how much money i put into it but it will be slow and steady. im hoping by around september/october i would have enough money saved that i can get someone to hopefully strip and check the engine.
Bryanj:
Just so you know that seat has been modified as well.
It would be worth taking the engine out and removing the head so you can determine which model top end it is, it is no problem running an earlier top end as long as oil returns are sorted, slightly down on power but are you really going to be able to tell unless you rag it everywhere?
If you want i can give you a mobile number to call me when i am sat at work on an evening so i can give you things to look for.
Good luck with the project
