Confirm engine number

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bryanj:
Honda engine number always start with CB never F2 so if it is that it is NOT an original number

captaink:
Have a look at this picture of my casings, the engine was black , factory coating .
It does not look like it's been tampered with and there's not any evidence that any things been messed with.

Perhaps Rickman added the numbers when new, ?

?????????????

Bryanj:
Thats not a Honda stamping--too irregular and doesnt look right, new cases come unstamped and I suspect rickman re-built a damaged engine and restamped a number but got it wrong

captaink:
Interesting!
It was also suggested to me that Rickman bought the engine new and  unstamped and built the bike.
I know v5 s can have numbers changed  but this appears all 1979
The engine appears though to have never been apart, there's no sign at all of any damage. In fact it appears in very good condition
The engine parts are also F2

Bryanj:
To the best of my knowledge Honda never supplied complete engines only all the parts but if an engine with damaged cases was rebuilt by a good mechanic it would look original
