It can be difficult to find the correct parts for your Honda motorcycle if you are not sure which exact model you have.

Here are some of the ways you can identify which exact Honda motorcycle you have.

Color Label:
This can be found on most Honda motorcycles made after 1980
It can usually be found by removing or lifting the seat. It will either be attached to the top surface of the rear fender or to one of the frame rails.
