Topic: 1965 CB77 - starting back up!

Just "finished" this one, a 1964.

Hey Magpie...did you use the stock low bars on that bike or something else?

[Magpie]

Those are the bars the bike came with, I don't know if they are stock Honda bars. Sorry.

Cliff,is that bike your 'keeper' ?

"Cliff,is that bike your 'keeper' ?"
 They are all keepers. I have more emotional attatchment to this on though. A Super Hawk was my first bike. I started riding in 1966.

I started on(the CT90 didn't count) a 1966' CL77 purchased when I went to visit a fisherman's son(Greg)and saw it leaning against a stump,he didn't really want to sell it but needed the $.I rode that bike for a few years:I got my learners permit when I was 16.5 yrs.(written test)in Mass.(Dukes County) on an Island I lived:I rode that bike all over and finally to CT. when I moved back there.

I wonder how much HP the hot rodders got out of these engines.

Here's my 77, just remounted the original mufflers. Kinda dirty but I will clean it up. Definite "patina" girl, pretty much everything major is original except the rear shocks and the seat cover. Obviously there's paint crazing on the original tank (side covers have been repainted) plus rust and staining on the chrome but after 54 years she's looking pretty good!
I ride it a few hundred miles a season. Not great for long trips with the vibration. The trunk carries spare plugs, a hammer type impact driver and bits, and the passenger pegs, plus odd and sods. Those pegs aren't always left on as if the bike falls over the absolutely unobtainable peg mount casting will break... owners will understand... and the not too stable centre stand is all it has. Runs great (or did with the loud shorty trumpets). If I get a sunny day (arrgh! keeps raining on days off!) I will get it on the road to see what it's like with quieter pipes.

Here is my late '67 CB77.    Honda put chrome fenders on them partway through the last year of production 1967.
The frame has tabs for mounting rear turn signals, another late addition.

The black paint is all original, the engine side cases, and I think maybe the side covers have been repainted by a previous owner.
AFIAK, the exhaust is all-original as well.

I bought it with less than 2,700 miles on it several years ago.   Because the mileage is so low, I only ride it 30-40 miles per year (few short, 10-15 mile rides) to keep that mileage low.

Very nice!

I promise I haven’t left this project. It’s just slow.

I have a NOS D.I.D rear rim, but the fronts are pretty much unobtainium.

Mine was pretty rough, but I paid the piper and got it rechromed right.  $$$

Due to being a parallel twin, it will buzz some.

[bert96]

The CB350 will make your feet feel funny after hours and hours on the bike…
