Here is how cool and weird the numbers get.

The barn find Honda that I built several years ago came from Ohio. The next year a friend from Minnesota sends me the frame that begun the Build from Scratch. The frame number numbers were 21 builds apart. Wild. Both bikes were white.

The Build From Scratch frame is the 193rd. 1965, CA95, built. Now the engine is probably the latest engine built the same year...but it is not, as it is a combination of used parts from a 1962, 1964 & 1965 motors. So the build from scratch engine number is 11,900+ different from the frame number.

To add to weirdness...the last 3 digits of my CA95 first build(2007) and the last 3digits of the engine assembled for the BFC (2012)....are the same.....

So if you really wanted a 65 CA95 engine on a 65 CA95 frame...just swap out the 1966 top engine case with 1965 top engine case....
