Topic: 1974 cb550 vin questions

[BrynrG]

So I'm trying to run a vin check on my 1974 cb550 but all the sites want a 17 digit number and this doesn't seem to have one. Someone wanna fill me in on the secret to the VINs on this thing. Maybe even do a check for me?

I think later models had a plate riveted on, but I have a '75 F1 & the number is stamped into the neck of the frame on the left hand side.
It's not seventeen digits though, yours should have a CB550 prefix followed by 7 digits.
