Thanks is advance for any info. I am restoring my fathers 70 yamaha RT1 and would like to find a source for the vin sticker on the frame. Is there anyone on this site that is interested in these old bikes? Thanks, Dustin

I'm in to Honda bikes from around 1968-1976. I might have a few resources on my PC. I'll check and get back to you.

A good start would be to become a member here: http://www.vjmc.com/

I've had good luck on some "restoration specific" parts here: http://z1parts.net/products/vintage-motorcycle-parts

I'll have to dig deeper into some old links. I know I have at least 1 that is a Japanese site that may have just what you need.

Got any old pics o current ones of what you are working on?

Our helo mech is into 1970's Kawasaki's and has restored several, I will ask him when I see him in a couple days.

I need to take some pics before I tear it down but I haven't done it yet. It has a black tank w/yellow stripes and semi gloss silver fenders. It's complete but didn't stay on its two wheels it whole life. My father bought it new in 70 after his h.s. graduation. I have great memories of being scared to death riding on the back of it as a youngster. Thanks Paul for the links and thanks Dave for asking your mech. Dustin
