Yeah Rick I remember someone posting here a few years ago saying they had a mid teen VIN with a damper bracket. Someone also posted saying their 3 digit VIN frame didn't so certainly doesn't seem to be an exact cut off VIN. Interesting about that bracket location

Type this....??
My Vin 1034



I was very uncertain, and finally I decided to cut it.
I have asked to many people, but without reply.

Puccio, did you get a sandcast ? 

[Marcello Tha]

Dear Steve;

KP noticed differences between the oil pans, there are 2 distinct oil pans, the later type which has the small squares/rectangles cast into the base. The later type seems more robust than the earlier type. These earlier type have no squares cast into the base.

Thanks.

Hi at al.

From list:

6. no “off-on-off” marking on kill switch body, 1-673)

The recently sold on ebay #744 shows the no off-on-off smouth right knob.
The same unmarked knob i've on my #737.

So i think that the row #6 must be updated.

Thanks for the attention.

So, in the process of discussion with Duane Wilson it *appears* there are now THREE different type of exhaust fitted to pre-4150 vins.  The discovery was made that a set of 4 exhaust have:  1. short 3 mm welded seams AND 2. have the shorter mounting to accommodate the shorter mounting bolts AND 3. do not have Lotus Root baffles.  In separate instances, Duane and i have made these observations on pre-4150 vins.

"50. No guide lugs as cast part on junction box for top brake hose (up to VIN 1927 identified)"

My # 1983 has that too.

[DW69K0]

I think this distinction runs higher than we previously believed, as I have three 30XX Sandcast plus 3223 that do not have the lug on the brake junction box, 4371 has the lug.
Can others weigh in please?
Thanks,
Duane

9. grey body horn with grey wire sheath
10. some grey body horns noted to have black wire sheath

I've read through the "distinctions" and looked at a few posts about the grey bodied horn and what VIN's should have had one.  Has it been confirmed?  I saw one post, I believe from kp, that suggested the same horn was used on different models.  Has this been confirmed?

Hi again!
Forgot to tell you can find grey horns for left mount on CB450, at least K1 and K2.
