1960 Honda Dream C72 and C77-A

In the spirit of keeping the scammers further down our lists, here are a couple of pictures of my upcoming projects (I know I haven't finished the ones I am working on yet!). Both made in 1960, one was registered in UK (C72) the other in California, USA.

Here is the 1960 UK bike, as purchased. It came with a candy red/pink paint and is the first Honda I've seen with a base-coat under the paint.

It has the original dealer transfer on the headlamp bucket.

These 1960 Dreams had cylinder heads without the familiar cast iron 'skull' and were fitted with 10mm spark plugs.

My 1960 C77-A Dream came from California but I bought it in the UK after the PO posted a picture on theis forum. He'd already collected some of the hard to find spares and provided me with a spare frame so that I could rebuild the rear end which had been 'customized' at some time.

There are lots of interesting details on these early Dreams. There were no mirror mounts on the lever perches. They had seperate brackets.

Should keep me busy for a while....

Pretty cool, thanks for posting, G. I have a Super Hawk, that had a CA77 motor, that someone had put in it. Not exactly sure whether to use whatever parts from it, that I can, on my others builds or what to do with it. Bill

Thanks - both are long-term projects. The UK bike came without any electrics or switchgear so I have been collecting those parts for some time.
