I posted these in my '61 project thread a while back.....

And this is a weird universal top case I picked up that will work with both early and later oiling systems......

Yep, Thanks G, I remember that..................Now. I probably even commented on it when you posted it. Sometimes the old brain just doesn't make the connection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqtBm_oUpc

I had an experience like that only this week. You suddenly realize that you knew something all along but it just hadn't clicked....

Great idea, Steve! I could give up my dental plan and buy more bike parts. Going to the dentist is no fun anyway. Classic bikes are always fun and seldom leave your mouth numb.

I've got the CB77 close enough to being road ready that I took it down from the bench. I want to get it completely warmed up so I can reset the valves and get the carbs just right.. I followed Ed's recipe on tuning. I wish I understood how to set my idle mix screws a little better. Ed says, if I remember correctly, to bottom them then back off one turn but no more than one and a half. I set mine at one and a quarter. I synced the slides, including properly adjusting the cables so the slides lift at exactly the same time. Both pipes warm at the same rate. It will idle at 600 to 800 if it's warmed up. I still need the steering damper and to adjust the brakes. I am sure there will be a lot of little things that will need adjusted over the first couple outings. The motor sounds a lot better in person than my tinny phone can capture. Here is a picture and a video.

Great job!

In Brazil currently and there are small bikes everywhere (mainly Brazilian-made Honda 125s). It's just like the old days back home.... :-)
