Take notice this bike is listed as a CB77, Super Sport.
They don't show the C type of bike at the front of the numbers they offer.
We need a member in GB to call and verify what they are actually selling. ......lm

Yup, I'm super confused. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to the serial numbers anymore hey?

In all seriousness though, it seems the rotary vs return shifter is going to be key to identifying this bike if the above table is accurate. I'm almost certain mine is a return shifter but I've as yet been unable to get it into any gears (partly because the retaining clamp bolt had been snapped off in the lever, so I've drilled it out and will re-tap the hole soon.

Yeah it's all getting a little too confusing.

I don't think I even care enough anymore to find out! Just need the damn chain guards! SO HARD TO FIND.

Picked up a chain case and a half off a bloke down here - off a C90 though rather than a C92.

I haven't had a chance to offer them up to the bike to see if everything lines up but was wondering if anyone here could advise?

PS - they were 20 bux so I'm not complaining. They need a little beating to get em straight enough to look the nuts but it's worth it - the replica's were going for over 200 shipped so getting anything original for less is a win. The replica's would've needed to be painted anyway.

Definitely do not fit... back to the drawing board.

On a side note, the yammie is nearly there so will be starting this hopefully this year. Going to Japan for 3 weeks soon though so will have to see!

Hi guys,

Just figuring out the forum as I go, so apologies if I am in the wrong bit!

I have just bought a C92 myself as a project. It was part of a guys collection until he traded it in at my local classic dealer. My bike has not come with any keys. What/where would be a good place to start to figure out a key code so that I can get a set made for it? Furthermore, my bike is a 1961. Was the rear numberplate mount welded onto the frame? Mine appears to be welded on, but with what looks to be factory welds (doesn't look messy or bodged!)

As I go along with the project, I will undoubtedly have more questions as the C92 is not a bike I am familiar with!

All the best, and apologies again if this is in the wrong place!

Will
