I think this is it. I've got a 62 dream with a late model tank and have been looking around for verification of the correct style tank as well before making a purchase. Pretty sure the earlier years didn't have the center seam, though don't quote me on that one ;)

The Little Engine that Couldn't

In other news- after a month of waiting on parts, working on the bike, and troubleshooting a few odd ball items, I got out on the road this weekend. Tons of fun while it lasted- which wasn't long. I was riding for about an hour or so and started to loose power while on the Belt Parkway. Made it to a...

I do not believe that your bike is a 62'.Too many features of a 64' and later.Gas tank, right side engine cover appears to be off a 65' or later engine. The bike's transferable registration says 1962 Honda CA77E. VIN/Frame # is CA77E1007296. I could be mistaken, but I believe it is a 62 with a few ...

Progress Report

So it took a lot longer than I had hoped- but the payoff was well worth the wait. Stoked to have my bike up and running. Handlebars were replaced with CB750 low rise bars. It worked out fine with the stock cable lengths. Replaced front brake and clutch cable and installed new dimmer switch. New Bar ...

One more shot of the bike. *And yes- I know the clutch cable is routed incorrectly:) That's next on today's list.

Finally got everything finished up. Passed NY State inspection without any problems. New bars are cut and on the bike. Everything was rather straight forward once I found someone to cut the throttle slot. I attached a couple of photos of my bike with the replacement bars and bar end mirrors. I actua...

Thanks! I actually just found a guy in East Harlem who was able to drill out the bars for me. I ended up using CB low rise bars that I had on hand and they look quite nice. Worked out fine with the stock cable lengths, though I did replace the front brake and clutch cable with new cables minus the m...
