Well this is odd given that I am pretty sure my bike was originally purchased in Canada but can't confirm that. The serial # is a 2H7 series not a 2H8
The number on both the frame and the engine is 2H7110430

that is probably correct, my 3X0 says 2H9 on frame, engine and paperwork.
that means probably there were not enough changes from the stock model to justify a new frame and or engine prefix. just leads to a different fiche (as mine does too). The 3X0 was first meant for the UK market and later released in the Netherlands with some modifications.
Actually John, you have prompted me to ask this question about my '79SF - 3h3-012808 Special. According to the listing on the thread about production numbers, mine should have been a US spec bike, but it has metric instruments (220k speedo). It is an import bike (into Australia) but I have no idea where it had been previous to me buying it in 2002, in as new condition with only 18000klms on the clock. Can you help sort out this riddle?

How 'bout 3H3-005154
Guess that makes MIYAMI the 5154th SF produced.
Still runnin strong minus a sticky back brake. ( Still havn't got around to fixing it yet )
In an effort to find out how many of these bikes were made, lets try a game of one up-manship on serial numbers!

If there are more than three bolts holding it on there, it is most likely a very important part!
