ca77 tires honda dream
As far as I am aware the 77 and 78 are exactly the same bike The C72 and C77 had pressed steel handlebars, while the CA72 and CA77 had high tubular bars. Beyond that there were only minor differences, different indicators were fitted to the non-US bikes to suit the countries laws. Bikes built up to 1963 had a different fuel tank shape to later bikes, and the pressed steel bars were discontinued at about the same time (all models using conventional tubular bars) but otherwise the bike stayed much the same for the rest of its run. There was also a version of the bike called the C78/CA78, but visually there were no substantial differences to the C77/CA77. Casamer, Where did you get the tires in the picture? They look about right.
The firestones have a tread similar to the ribbed front tire designs. They do NOT handle very well on dirt roads. My buddy has them on his CA160, and rode the Moto Giro event this spring. Lots of dirt made for uncomfortable riding. Awful in wet dirt......
