Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay in posting images of sandcast CB1-2000012 but my Pc has been playing up.Hope now will be ok. Larry kindly offered to post for me but as you can see have posted a few images myself here and will add some more. The rear shock has dust cover similar to European 78/79 models but appears to be cnc turned to me rather than cast as on the production models over here. The crankcases look very rough indeed compared to the diecast production models. The VIN plate does not show a production date which as EMS says is normal for European market bikes whereas US & Canadian models do. Although, Australian number 11 sandcast I have mentioned before has 11/77 on the Vin and another sandcast CB1E-2000037 vin 32 in Canada owned by James E has 1/78 on the VIN plate. So Honda seem to not keep to the same build recording system for different markets. Will add more information as I get it. Many thanks to Patrick in Belgium for supplying the images of his machine which greatly appreciated.
all the best Mel #1876
