I'll never understand why they decided not to give the H1 the same tail section as the S1, S2 and H2 for 72, that would make it even better for me... :? They even had 2 chances, B and C.


I don't understand why WE haven't done it yet. ;)

I think someone across the pond has done it, or maybe it was a 72 S2 with an H1 motor! (and "500" decals on the side covers) :clap: Anyway, it was a looker! :thumbup:

I thought this was odd and interesting. My original vin sticker was typically tattered up, so I removed it with a razor blade so I could replace with one of RB's fine replacements (which I've had for several years...). Underneath was the stamped MADE IN JAPAN, which I thought quite odd it being completely covered up by the vin sticker. MADE IN JAPAN is positioned just about smack dab in the middle of the headstock.

So I managed to dig up an image of an H1c and MADE IN JAPAN is positioned much closer to the vin part number, so that the decal clears it.
Image
I wonder which position of stamping is more common with the early models that began using a sticker?

Most I've seen have been near center. I've not seen one that close to the VIN before.
