I bought a non-runner about 3 years ago and have been very slowly getting it road ready. Currently having the frame and other parts powder coated. When I stripped it down to the frame I noticed there wasn't a VIN plate on the neck like on other vintage Hondas I've owned. Did the 1969 350s only have the VIN stamped into the frame? Trying to figure out if I need to look into getting a reproduction plate or not.

It probably only had a sticker rather than an actual plate with model/VIN like the later bikes.
The '69 parts list shows pn 87131-286-670 "label - safety" for US models.
If it had a plate there would be rivet holes.

The stamped serial number on the neck is the only frame marking on a '69.

Thanks for the input. No rivet holes so I assume the sticker was the only thing there. Any idea where to purchase a new/reproduction sticker? Can't seem to find anything on the web.

As best I remember, there was no model/VIN sticker, either. Just the serial numbers stamped into the frame neck and engine, and they don't even match. 1969 was back in the good old days before a lot of the government regs were in place.

This was the plate on cb450s in 68/69, don't know if they were on cb350s as well. If so this guy has the best ones I've seen. He also has CB350 1969 data plates.

Awesome, thanks for the help. Anyone have a picture of a 350 or similar frame with this tag on it? I want to get the placement right.
