New member with '66 CL77
This confirms my theory that the grey plastic ones are simply the metal shrouded ones with the shrouds removed. I don't think the shrouds were removed pre-delivery her in the UK so I'm guessing (again) that the service instruction came from American Honda.
I have a colour (color) brochure produced by European Honda Motor trading Company around 1965 which shows C95, CB160, C72, CB72 and CB77 ALL fitted with the metal shrouded plug caps but I know a lot of dealers threw the shrouds away. In the interests of authenticity I have a pair of (Royal Enfield) shrouded caps on my CB77 and they haven't given me any trouble in two years running, to be fair though I haven't ridden it anywhere in wet weather True, they were gray caps. You will find the removal instructions in the Honda pre-delivery manual also we were told by the regional service rep to remove them. Just because I had them and had forgotten, I put a set on my CL during resto. Guess how bad it ran until I noticed the arc. Removed them and all was well. Lessons learned years ago still apply today.
Do I need non-resistor caps or will a pair of LD05F do just fine?
I can also get the non-supressed LZFH version... Also big choice here: http://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cl77-scrambl ... ml#results
