HT, I was able to locate a halfway decent used shifter shaft for my CL-77 on E-Bay. As I am sure you know, the issue with this part is finding a used one where the splines are not all chewed-up. In fact, the condition of the splines on the bike when I bought it were nonexistent! Previous owner clamp...

Thanks H.T. The link you provided shows exactly the problem I encountered. I did a search of the forum, but don't recall seeing this post. G-Man was going to do more checking, but I never followed-up with him. I took a picture of the part, but after about 1.5 hrs. of trying this & that, could not ge...

I've done a fair amount of machine work, so have indicators and can build makeshift fixturing, etc. to get the job done. The manufacturer of the spok...

I am about ready to reassemble my CL77 front & rear wheels. Never done this before and have gathered up info. on this forum & other internet sources. I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find an answer to that hopefully someone on the forum can help me with. First one is, there were conical ...
