I know you do not want to spend the time going through each card to figure out which bike this part, that you found behind a shelf, belongs to. If you are an “old school” type of person you probably have a microfiche machine in the garage with a card for each of your bikes. I realize that if you have located you are probably capable of using online parts fiche or doing a reverse lookup on a part number, but I thought I would include it anyway. You would find that part number 14311-001-010 is a Timing Gear for those bikes. Now out came the microfiche cards for the 1959-1962 C100 Super Cub and the 1961-1962 CA100T Trial 50. If the part was a gear of some kind and its number was 14311-001-010, you looked up 001 and found that it means C100 and CA100T. You got out your Honda Product Code Index and checked the middle 3 digits. How were you supposed to figure out what bike this part goes to? There were no computers on the parts desk that you could type the number in to. So you found a Honda part in a plastic bag with a part number. Why would you ever need this information?īack in the days before computers and online parts fiche (microfiche, parts schematics) we had books. Honda did not issue two separate part numbers, with two separate product codes, for the same part just because it fits more than one bike. For example the air cleaner housing, Honda part number 17210-MF5-750, is the same for both models. Similar models such as the VT500C Shadow 500 and the VT500FT Ascot 500 may both use the same part in each bike. These 3 digits are the Honda Product Code and correspond to the Honda motorcycle, scooter, ATC or ATV model that the part is for or was first used on.
The center section of a standard Honda part number contains 3 digits (111 in the example). If the part is something a dealer would purchase in bulk, like hose or bolts, and it fits many models from different product lines like motorcycles, ATVs and generators, the number format is xxxxx-xxxxx-xx.
