why do the engine cases differ from ours - ss2wheels_imp - 08-04-2016
why do you think Honda paints the engine covers on CBs in other countries and we get the polished and clear coated ones?

It's all about with they think the people want and what will sell.

The wheels might have more to do with tire availability than anything else I can think of. The DLX and the STD use the same tires and the fact that so few DLX's were imported just bolsters that notion for me.
