VIN curiosity

[Muzz]

Of course some jackhole will ask "what kind of a Honda is that?"

I must confess, I was once asked that so I quoted (I think it was Wayne Orwig, apologies if it wasn't) "Honda". Really officer, I just couldn't help myself'.

The seven digit vin on my CX always tweeks everybody's gourd at the dmv and inspection station. It's a mogu to them

We had the PA DMV list the make of many bikes as Motor Lift.

"Model Year" is in the VIN.  Look at your 10th digit.

Y =   2000
1 =   2001
 
And while you're looking, note Digits 4 through 8 and let us know what they are on your EV

My 10th digit is a 1....pretty sure that means '01 manufacture date

Digits 4 thru 8 are KDBKD

Thanks Ray.

So your '01 Cal-EV is "KDBKD"

The 04 EV in the original post is "KDD00"

I'll try to find the model code for my old Bassa, when I get home.

The 30mm diameter handlebars neck to normal 7/8" / 22mm diameter at the control locations so by changing the mounting bits any normal sized bar can be used.  Parts from any late California model with the 7/8"  /  22mm bars can be used.
