Now i've got the bike here at my place. I had a fast look on it but couldn't see anything unusual. Does anyone know where that "canister" should be mounted? Anyway, i found out, that a picture of my bike is on german Wikipedia, the pre-previous owner put a picture there. The previous owner just added a windshield,everything else still looks (nearly ) like on the picture... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/Honda_SC650_Nighthawk.jpg/1280px-Honda_SC650_Nighthawk.jpg
