Was that you Julie, I never looked who it was to be honest. Isn't it amazing what Honda charge for two tiny rivets. Nearly a fiver each on DSS plus his rip off p&p. Are they 1.7mm drill size?

No idea what drill size bit Roy, we've never had to drill the frame, we've just re fitted VIN plates with these to the existing holes. These are the correct part number that fit all CB SOHC4 VIN plates.
