Imported from Marysville, Ohio.

I've got an Import Aspencade with a shiny 20th anniversary badge on the front!
However, since it was model year 1994, built in 1993 I highly doubt it is supposed to be there

Best way to check it is look at the vin plate !! - its located on the righthand side where the stearing stem is see pic below

As always Mike " Thankyou " I was trying to show how important it is to know which wing you own as not all wings are built the same "" and if you order the wrong parts you can end up doing more harm than good !! - Yes ??

A lot of models for one year are actually made in the previous year. That's what we're talking about here, right? They gotta make a bunch of them to be able to have them in the stores in time for us to buy them.

True, but given that (if I am not mistaken) the 20th anniversary edition was model year 1995, still shouldn't be there, right?

Anyone can replace the windshield garnish. Maybe the original owner wanted to make it look like a 20th anniversary edition.

If I read the Wiki correctly, first year of production was 1974, but first sales in 1975 (making the bikes 'model year' 1975); so that might explain the discrepancy. It also says that the 20th anniversary badges were put on 1995 model year bikes. And apparently on mine, but so probz not by Mother Honda!
