The bike is looking great! I see another 1962 CA77 on ebay right now with serial numbers similar to mine that don't fit the posted table. I'll put this post to bed since the table must not be complete. It is nice to have a passion about something that is shared by so many that are willing to assist ...

Wow, what does that bike look like now? I admire the capabilities of the people on this site being able to restore forgotten gems to their new glory. I have a 66 CB72 that is not quite as bad as the picture you posted that I hope to restore.

I'm not really concerned about the numbers being faked. It would be nice to know what serial number range it fits in for getting parts in the future.

Sorry to have to ask this question since it has been seen here many times from others. I have a CA77 I purchased that has frame number CA77-24047 and engine number CA77E 214053. This seems to be outside of the range of any of the serial number tables I have seen. Any one have an explaination or am I...

I bought a 1966 CB77 I plan to restore. The previous owner said that if you run with the headlight on all the time as required in Washington state that the battery will go dead. I don't remember this being a problem way back when so would appreciate a response on whether this is true. I don't want t...
