 I was thinking someone said Western Honda sold out their old stock. DSS or CMS or someone like that.

Soneone said Western Hills, not sure if it's the same place. But my impression was they ordered available stock from a Honda distributor, and didn't have their own stock. Could be wrong though.

 I've had a few beers from aluminum cans myself. Memory isn't my strong suit. lol.
 Around 1981 or so I did some piping in the Davenport Ia. Honda warehouse. It was hard to walk through and not scan the shelves for bike parts.

It seems pretty obvious that CMS has bought out most of the world's Honda nos(Kawi, Suzi and Yami too for that matter)...How to tell?  CMS might have it and every where else ain't got #$%*.
If it works good, it looks good...
