Hello!

Post by igartley » Sun Feb 14, 2016 10:35 pm

Hi! I've been lurking around here for the past year or so. I figured I'd say hello.
This is my 65 CB77 when I first bought it.

This is what she looks like now

I've rebuilt the motor, powder coated the frame, and have been slowly bringing her back.

Hello and welcome to our forum. Isn't it a good feeling when you make progress?

Thanks for the welcome!
I had some oil seepage from one of the head studs the other day and decided to re-torque them. I guess a put a little too much muscle on them and snapped one of the thin studs.

Nice progression...............rear fenders are somewhat easy to find...........fronts, not so much. Nice tires.
