Thread: Is This Bike Legitimate?

I know it is not a good image but generally speaking is this a 72?
I don't remember the decals but I don't remember a lot of stuff.

Looks like a chinese exhaust . Pic really sucks . Got any better pic's .

Possibly a '72 however that year didn't have booted front forks, that seat, color, decals or exhaust. Can you get its vin?

You say that looks like a chinese exhaust. What does the original look like? I have one that looks similar but doesnt have the front/bottom part of the exhaust shield.

KO- See the holes all the say down the bottom of the shield?? Old Honda shields from that era had holes on the at the back of the exhaust and slits down closer to the bottom, by the head.

STTC...Harry's right, you need to post the VIN...That bike has been changed a bit...I'ts hard to tell what it is.

The decals are '77 or '78. Kickstarter is incorrect as well...

yeah impossible to tell what the original frame year is without a Vin. if it is a 72 it is far from original. looks to be a 78 decal but the paint is not a color from 78, the paint was also not a 72 color. seat is after market, exhaust is Chinese.
