Hallo Bo.
You saund as if you believe the Seeley frame is build with/from  parts of the original Honda frame!?
Can't you be told the frame number of the Seeley frame used?
I'm kind of interested as my Sand Cast too was transferred into a Seeley frame in '78.
It is indeed difficult to understand the wording for a photo in here when no knowledge of used words!

And I seem to have disappeared from members introduction!
Today August 20 is 47 year anniversary.
I wanted to see how many had been on the 45 year story!

4pots 1969.
Had this friend of yours had sticking throttle slides?
In my day I was the only one in town on a CB750.
So never really had anyone to talk "daily" problems with.
Think I have a post card dated Oct '69 from Honda.
They had forwarded my problem to the distributor of my area!
Not a word about what it was.
Come to think about it now some explaining of holes in centre of clutch hub to ease plate separate!
Neither do I remember having been called to dealer for some help.
But of cause I had been to dealer asking for help before writing to Japan.
Just felt they had no detailed knowledge of this new bike on the market.
More or less similar to my present day ride: a Fireblade.
Now 170K km had gear change problems from day one, now more than 20 years ago.
Dealer just told me to learn to change gear properly when on a Honda!
And I had at the time done maybe half a million km!
Though mostly on a flat twin BMW.
Sandcast got a Seeley frame after '78. That made it a delight to ride.
With 4 into one exhaust. Pipes don't touch so easily.
Engine of the Blade runs silky smooth as ever.
But it jumps out of fourth gear! Not on the overrun though.
After 10 years I wrote to Japan asking them to tell dealer what to do.
Was duely answeed: go to the Honda of your area, Where of cause I had already been.
Then a friend advised me on to Fireblade.org.
A handful of owners had similar problem!
And solutions which I was not quite sure of interpreting correct.
Went to the dealer with this knowledge.
He just asked me to leave his place and ask those people for help!

Those solid rubber dampers are to me the original ones.
When they were changed, free of charge,  I do not remember.
Think Markb asked for a set in his restoration of 97!
Your repaired crank case might not be due to a completely broken chain.
Just a loose chain stretching over the front sprocket might do it.
Have experienced that too.
On another occasion mine just rolled off with no damage to anything.
Of all places starting out of a gas station north of Würthburg Germany.
On my way to Misano GP in Italy.
Had an extra chain, though not intended for use till return run to Danmark!

Might well have some opinion.
For my part I mostly learn about a motorcycle I've had for 47 years, in 3 week time!
And not really know inside out of!
In other words, don't think I can ad to the knowledge in this  forum.

E Vin 1638 did come with finless oil filter house, and it did end up having 3 hairline crashes from centre and out!
August 24 '69 I saw in Sweden 2 CB 750 both having finned filters. E Vins about 23XX.

The set with the longer cables have them opposite to one another.
Which to me at least looks as original!

Steve Swan asks for talks with contemporary staff or dealer.
Dealer is long gone. At the time I had no idea what happened would be history in the future!
But he who rode my SC for check up by authorities is still around.
We are a group who meet every wednesday evening to exchange "lie stories"
But what happened then was apparently just every day honda work!
At least one more of the 5 that came was licensed here in København.
I met it once in the day but never since.
And friend has no recollection of anything but my specific bike.
It's just we were friends then as we are today 47 years later.
He indeed it was he to come and set me up with computer years ago.

Review of VIN'S For Directory / Re: 7/E90 now in VIN Directory
« on: March 21, 2016, 02:55:39 am »
Stated by DW69KO: The facts show at this point of time,we have not confirmed a single frame and engine number matched exactly coming out of the Honda factory!
But I've long time ago stated my vins and they have been the same from day one. Though just recently changed to the right ones in the list. Thank you Wayne. In the last column I've a (*) Why? if i dare ask. Apparently the only one in the whole setup. I could as Steve Swan state my lower case is dated 5-20 for that one though if needed.

Hallo Bo.
I'm situated 50 km south of Helsingborg/Elsinore on the opposite Danish shore.
København to be exact.
Rumours will have it owner of the first CB 750 of Norway carries the same name!
Sorry I did not point out my nationality in my "45 year story".
Erling.
