Honda needs to recall the damn seat latches on the 420 everytime you hit a bump it comes undone and you have to stop and relatch. The plastic hinges aint worth ****.</end quote></div>

Your not getting your seat latched properly. You need to get the all three of the plastic tabs fully into the slots before getting it latched.

comparing the two photos the brown and chrome clips appear on both and so can be no indication of whether you need the work done or not. hondamechanic is there any noticeable differences in the two to tell which type we have? new ones look thinner and the boot seem to stop earlier showing a weld on the new ones, is that right?</end quote></div>

There is a RED STRIPE mid shaft on the new ones.

I was told by the honda mechanic the replacement boots had brown and chrome but the pull offs are the same color so this is not a way to tell we need to come up with the in the clear serial numbers I am sure I was not told the truth I think I will call another dealer and see if they will tell me something,I was hoping some one here would be in the know.</end quote></div>

2008/1hftte344/8410003 to 84102822

I could not find out if these are us or

canada serial numbers or if it makes any

difference maybe someone could let us know.

 

This is the Canadian bulletin

is there another location on the bike of the vin, not the one on the front near the bottom of the rad, a sticker perhaps? or on another part of the frame?
