           Okay TG, start talking. Don't know where you came up with those pictures, but I'm wanting details about THIS one! 8)  BTW, I have seen pictures of a CB77 with the top end from a Suzuki twin and I thought I "Book Marked" it, but I guess I didn't. ::)  Anybody know the bike I'm talking about or who did it? I think it was a GS450 top end and it really gave it the racing Honda look.

                              Take care, Bill ;)

I doubt that it drops right on, probably had a lot of welding to the cases.....sure has a nice factory look to it though.



What I would really like to have is the 50,s Honda on the left in the pic.. oooh yeah !!

Amazing what one can put together - when one wants to badly enough!

       Hey TG. Was doing a bit of browsing today and found those pictures of the CB77 with the CB450DOHC top end.

         





           This was the 1st picture in the thread that was on the Honda305.com site.
