Engine and Frame numbers, CB350F, 1972
« on: February 18, 2013, 08:20:05 PM »
Is it possible to determine if the engine and frame are original?  My bike frame # is 1034648, the engine is 134700.  Does this "mismatch" mean anything?

On a Honda, the frame and engine number don't match.

Please check the FAQ section http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?board=11.0

If, as I suspect, you have missed a 0 out of the engine number they are about right
