CA78 VIN

Post by mentor53ja » Fri Sep 26, 2014 10:57 am

I have a CA78-103689. From the postings I have seen, they should be starting with 3XXX, but clearly this one starts with 1XXXXX and is titled in FL. Any comments?

a "3" prefix was for 1963. Honda changed the numbering sequence in 1964 and all bikes began with "10". Yours is later than '63.

How about some pictures?

Thanks for the update, I believe you are correct, it is a 1965. Tried to send a picture, but the Forum says the file is too large. And, I have no idea how to change the file size.[/img]

One easy way is to open it with Paint, then use the "resize and skew" tab.

Or use an online storage site like Photobucket [others are available] then just post the link, this method saves storage space on the forum server, a big+ point.
