I also think it was built in 1970. Not sure of the model.
Isn't it an export model? (Low exhaust,...)

No idea, bought as a project so didn't have original headlamp / front&rear my guards...

How can I find out if it's an export?

Different style of seat, possible manual clutch, possible removable front forks, possible low type exhaust, small head light (same as UK model), different decals of which some are written entirely in Japanese,...

Hi
front forks look uk as they have the front guard brackets seat is not early style but that could just be the cover the serial number is down by the top engine mounting bolt and I believe starts ST70E and the rear shocks look like they are the wrong side out

Cheers for all the info.. The Frame number - st70-137946 so no "e" on it...

Seat cover definately replaced and you are correct re the forks..

Would anyone have the original style headlamp / speedo combo.. Mines got a monkey one..
