DECAL LOCATION AFTER FRAME REPAINT
« on: August 09, 2020, 06:56:07 PM »
Hey all, realised today that I havnt installed the MADE in JAPAN decals on the frame on my 71 .....mind they are in Japanese but Im sure the location is the same. Can someone offer commentary on where these should be located please?
Thanks

I am not sure, but I think it goes under the compliance plate?

"my '71" doesn't tell us much. Some more detail would be good.

I think it goes vertically on the headstock, opposite side to where frame number is stamped. At least, that's where I've put mine.

+1 yes I am sure now (it was back in the eighties!) - at least that's where it was on my 400-4.

nope, none of those and not a mustang of any type......
I have the original metal VIN plate mounted as per specs on the frame tube.....
this is a decal "made in japan"...I think it goes on the frame tube under the seat nearest the oil tank........

As I said, back in the eighties my original Australian delivered CB400-4 had that decal UNDER the VIN plate.
