Helloooo!

I have a CT70 K0 which I got about 2 years ago and have been restoring since. A problem I'm facing now is that it's missing its VIN tag. I believe it's a 1971 since the frame's serial number is CT70-276941. I would like to buy a repop VIN tag and I am wondering what month is was produced. From my research it seems as it would would be towards the end of the K0s.

Here's a few people's VIN with the build date I found online:

276787, Built 7/71
283917, Built 8/71

What do you guys think?

Also, I see on ebay some VIN look different depending on destination country. I'm in Canada and the bike is from here, so I'm wondering if it would look different. Was this only on later models?

7/71 seems to make sense then! Thanks guys!

And regarding the different style of Vins for different countries, was that only for later models? Or did that apply to other bikes?

AFAIK the VIN tags did not vary based on country, only on year model. I believe Honda changed the style once they ditched the model style designation (K0-K4) and went with model year instead.
