Not a great picture but this is what it is.....

In better light the '96' is the middle of 1964.

I'm seeing a bunch of yellow tape that has since been painted black around the largest portion of the harness on the left side of the neck while sitting on the bike. The PO painted the bike yellow so the tag may have gotten removed, under tape, painted, or there and I can't see it. Does anyone have a picture of what/where this tag is?

Thanks!!

I assume you are showing what the white tag can look like. ................lm

LM, That's what he asked for in the message below....
I'd already said it was under the tank.

It must be an early 1966 model manufactured in late 1965, assuming the wire harness wasn't replaced somewhere along the way. LOUD MOUSE is probably the expert on carbon dating these machines, he helped me determine the years of a couple of my 305's.

That's the date that the wiring harness was made. This obviously had to be manufactured before it was put on the bike. So late '65 early '66 would be quite sensible.
