VIN #

Thanks to everyone for the helpful info. I found the vin #. Is it typical that the engine # and frame # don't match or does that mean my motor has been replaced?
Thanks

matching numbers

Post by berk.bike » Wed Apr 26, 2006 1:27 pm

i saw a very sweet CA77, this comment was made by the seller on matching numbers:
"matching frame and engine numbers (within 100 of each other – 1960’s Honda engine and frame numbers were usually within 200 of each other but did not match exactly)."

sounds reasonable... anybody know for fact? thanks

I've never seen any data from Honda on this subject. I have seen bikes that were original with numbers that were close to 300 apart. ...........lm
