Does anyone know if any Z1As euro spec were produced with just the frame # stamped on the headstock & no white plate. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Gerald

White sticker is only applied to US bikes confirming they meet US regulations

Wouldn't UK/Euro bikes have the E11 sticker on the headstock?.

They weren't very big it could easily have been taken off I don't think people regarded them as being of any significance at the time. How many do you ever see? The American sticker was a bit different as it was a bit more substantial and had the frame number and date of manufacture so they were specific to the bike.
