Title: Cb 550f2 vin plate info
Post by: firet49 on January 22, 2017, 08:49:49 AM: Hi
Can anybody show me a pic of a vin plate for a cb550 f2.
Mine has been removed by the previous owner for powder coating but I can still see the heads of the rivets where it was located behind the right hand side panel.
I have the tax book with all the info and I see plates on eBay but I want to check they have the correct information for a UK bike.
Is there any other source for these vin plates if the eBay one doesn't have the right information for a UK bike.
Thanks.

Thanks

Post by: hairygit on January 26, 2017, 12:39:06 PM: That is a plate for/from a u.s. bike, the clues being federal regs, and U.K. bikes don't state year either.

That's what made me wonder.
It would be useful if year was shown on UK bikes, save all that faffing about trying to get a Dating Letter from Honda UK!
