CP77 year of manufacture from VIN number

Post by woodsie59 » Mon Jun 21, 2010 7:40 am

I have a CP77 that I plan to start restoring. The VIN number is CP7763310379. Can anyone tell me what year it is? Does the 63 in the VIN mean it is a '63? From what I know about it, the bike was brought here by a guy my dad worked with, from Korea when he was in the military. The speedometer is in Kilometers, no MPH on it. I know the engine has roller rockers in it, but I don't know if they are factory. Thanks.
