Hey guys,

as I mentioned in my intro thread, I'm about to start a Honda CB twin project. I've got two engines, the first is a CB450 and the other is a CB500.

Here are my questions for you,

1) Does anyone have or know of a vintage Honda VIN decoder or chart? I want to figure out exactly what years I'm dealing with but I've found nothing useful. (I found the decoders for newer models and a chart with model codes which is supposed to be a VIN decoder but I don't understand it)

2) Does anyone have a recommendation of a good manual dealing with CB twin engines? I bought the Clymer's book but it's less than stellar...

3) Where do you buys buy your engine replacement parts? I would think that my local Honda dealer/service place should be able to get me all the parts and a shop manual right? or is there a cheaper place to get parts?

I think that's it for now but I'm sure the questions will keep piling on and on and on...

Thanks

Andrea

Hey tbpmusic, thanks so much for the link! It's exactly what I was looking for. I checked and found my info. Thanks.

So what's the deal with the CD manuals that bird-mojo is talking about??

Andrea

Same guy, it's the deal of a lifetime. Send him $10 and you'll get all the manuals, of your choice, that one CD can handle. If you get his 450 Manual you even get the annotations he's added from a bizillion years of real world experience.

Good stuff. Send him a PM for details.
