We found a DJ-1 ¿L?

[motoxicos]

Hello everyone!

My name is Franco and I'm here because with a friend of mine we are rebuilding/restoring an abandoned Honda DJ1. We are not sure about wich the specific version is L, R or RR. Because the color pattern of the fairing doesn't match to any of the original colors distributed in Japan.

Our visual comparision makes the next doubts:
1. The seat matches the DJ1 and DJ1L.
2. The lateral fairing has a sticker with the DJ1-L logo
3. The Global Honda site says that the L version has a 56cc engine, but the dashboard only shows up to 60 instead of 80 kilometers by hour.
4. Exhaust looks like the DJ1 and DJ1-L.
5. Dashboard says DJ1.
6. The frontal fairing air intake doesn't match to any DJ1 versions

Anyway, this is not a real japanese unit, instead, is an afghanistan manufactured and distributed into Chile, so probably is just a weird mix of the versions

Now, I want to share some images of the process. This is still a Work in Progress, so I going to create a new post when we have more progress (or issues lol).

Nice! Thanks for posting your find! There was a model I remember that had the 8" wheels instead of the 10" American/Japan market sized ones. That looks like them. I bet it was made in Japan and imported to wherever it is now. Look around on the frame under the bottom or front behind the plastics for a white or black sticker with the serial number on it. That serial number will tell you where it was made. Awesome find! Hope it runs!

Engine and chassis serial codes starts with the letters AF, that's the reason because we noticed that this is an afghanistan manufactured unit
