Yes, the seller commented on the L) f.peg rubber's wear. Wonder if it's related to footwear by rider or if the rubber simply has degraded and dropped off over the years.... ? Would have to look at the pics to see if the R) has any wear. I noted the 3 punch marks as well, i guess one can assume the updated cushions were used, but seems odd the 28's were not replaced. I thought the cushions and 28 updates came out the same time and the 3 p.marks indicated both updates were done...... i'd need to look at my SB's to refresh my memory.
And, yes, i noted the later type parts. This vin would seem to support Honda and Honda's suppliers had all their ducks in a row, from the parts manufacturing standpoint. Guessing the Lotus Roots, LH frame are pretty much all that separates this 1xxx vins from the later 4xxx+ vins. I was impressed by how shiny the eng.covers are and the condition of the plastic coat.
I'm told the owner was pretty fastidious, bike's condition would support the bike was well cared for. I would be surprised if this bike was ever ridden in the rain.
Definitely a fine example for any museum.
