What year CA77?

I'm new to the Dream world and I'm trying to figure out what year CA77 I have. There's not title with the bike and I have no idea where it might have been last registered. It's a beautiful black one and the headlight is not a sealed beam. Here are the numbers:

C78-1003837
C77E-1003887

Thanks!

Are you asking about the CA77 or the C77?

your frame is C78? or CA78?

or is that a typo and you mean C77 or CA77

my book for some reason doesnt have CA78 in it at all. :/

What part of California ya live?
Ya have a 1965 issue and the CA78 is a good number as it seems HONDA may have used it for the US exports.
The year of issue can be traced by the (E for engine) CA77E-xxxxxxx in the existing Bill Silver publications. .............lm

Not a typo. Frame says C78 (see photo) and engine says C77E. . Also attached is photo of the bike. I know that is not the correct seat. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the location info.
Ya are right in the middle of the CJMC club area. (CLASSIC JAPANESE MOTORCYCLE CLUB)
Ya do have a 65.
There is lots to know of these bikes and some (just as I) try hard and are still learning. .................lm
