What a concept - A Girl Bringing Back Her 1966 Super Hawk

Hmm. Your original posted pictures show 18182 miles on the odometer; my Dream has over 19,000 miles. So I suppose I'm looking at some transmission work as well...

I was told with the mileage on my bike to EXPECT wear in the transmission. Specifically, that bushing and the kick start pawl. I haven't removed the pawl yet, but the bushing (initially looking good), after measuring, is worn out! If my bike is any indication, while you have your bike apart, it's only about an hour more work to split the cases. I'd not hesitate to do it!

Jensey, I just "eyeballed", I haven't measured anything (except the bushing, at HT's behest). I'd read quite about about wear areas in the gearbox, and none were immediately obvious. The bike always shifted well, and that caused me to relax a little bit when I was inspecting the gears. You're totally right, the oil sure makes things look shiny. Well, that new trans is going in the cases. Period!

Is there any difference between the CA77 and CB77 rotor/starter clutch assemblies? I know the CL77 is different - no starter clutch.

They are the same. .........lm

Thank you, LM!!!!

Any thoughts on attempting to pop the dent by filling most of the way with water, capping it, popping it in the freezer and periodically checking to see of the expanding water/ice pops the dent. I have seen this done with exhaust dents

Might work if you can find some directional ice. .......lm

I'm resigned to the fact that I'll have to split the cases at this point. How will I know if the kickstart pawl is worn out, though?
