1967 or 1968?

Post by Richard305 » Sun Jul 10, 2016 9:23 am

I just was given a CL77 that I will have to get a bonded title which I can select the year on the title. I want to get it right so is it a 1967 or 1968. I read online that production stopped in 1967 on the CL77 but they were titled to the year they were sold. Frame number is CL77-1062880. Engine is probably from an earlier bike CL77E-1037913.(1966?) It has chrome fenders and is repainted blue. Paint showing under is a darker blue.

Go for 1967 as that is agreed as the last year of production. ..................lm

Thanks Loud Mouse for the fast reply. Hoping some others would chime in on the subject. New to the CL77's. I wish there was a data base for serial numbers year of manufacture.

I am kind of leaning to it being a 1967 anyway be cause 1967 is a better year ( Monterey pop, Jimmy Hendrix). Although I want it to be correct. It is what it is. Please weigh in.
