Thanks everybody for the words. I have to keep the shop clean, as rolling around in a wheelchair I tend to pick up every little speck of grease. It stays on the tires until I come in the house, and then proceed to spread said grease throughout our abode. That doesn't go over well. Also, I've had several flats due to small pieces of swarf penetrating the tire and puncturing the tube. Ah well. I'm working on a 1951 Triumph T100 right now, and have had to do an entire head switch -- moving from metric and Japanese engineering to Whitworth and BSC and the British parallel twin.
Oh, and as for the bars on the CB77, anything other than the narrow flat bars just doesn't look right IMHO!
Cheers!
Attached are a couple of shots. The first is a pure cheesecake shot, and the second, that's me and the bike's second owner. He bought the CB77 used in 1969 -- sold it to me in 1994, and I just sold it back to him late in 2008. Doesn't a guy deserve the bike he had 40 years ago?
Cable RoutingExcellent work. Truly an inspiration for anyone restoring these.
P.S. I love "cheesecake". Current restoration: 1962 CB77
