Honda dating service - I think they've got mine wrong.
« on: April 16, 2014, 08:05:34 PM »
Has anyone used the Honda dating service, and got unexpected results? I sent them my Frame number CB750 - 22124xx and they've come back with a Dec 6 1977 manufacture date!! I could believe Dec 6 1972, I'm wondering if its a 7 for 2 typo.. has anyone else received unexpected results like this?
the other thing is they've quoted back a frame number CB750F 22124xx
I'll write back after the easter hols, with a photograph of the frame number, hoping its a simple error....

The problem is they have put an "F" after the CB750, did the same with one of my 500's where they put a "K" and it came back 77 instead of 71.

Give them a call, number should be on the letter, and politely point out that by adding the "F" they have asked for the wrong bikes details. Mine was sorted fairly quickly

my 500/4 came back as December 1974 - CB500 2069xxx, no F or K .  I wonder if they are right because similar numbered bikes come up as much earlier.
