38c Motorcycle

Post by pkp448 »

According to Nick's guide, this would be a code 2. However, the ejector ring on the right hand side is approx 2.5mm, noticeably smaller than the 4mm. Has anyone seen this before?

I've got couple of questions about the motorbike;
The circle on the fuel tank with the upside down 7 in it. Is it an up side down 7 or supposed to be a Honda symbol?
The area were the kick stand should be has a number 2. I assume this is the mould number. How many mould numbers are there?
The tyres appear to have some chunks out of the side walls. What causes this? I have a few like this and can't work out how it happens. Is it a manufacturing flaw?

Cheers Steve

here you can see the number on the kickstand tab on the side without the ejector ring

I thought the chunks in the tyre sidewall came from mounting the bike's wheels in the trailer wheel receptacle/recess holes.
