Benly Super Sport? I forget the exact designation, but I know the Benlys with the factory alloy rims were rare. I've never seen any Benlys in the US. Were they ever imported here?

Thats not a Benly. Thats a CA77 with a CB77 front end. Also looks like CB77 wheels. Not sure about the tank. Looks a little like the CB92 but its different.

Heres a pic of the 125cc CB92 Benly Super Sport.

That tank would be a CE71 Dream Sport 250 1959 or 60. Come to think if it, the whole bike could be CE71 with a Hawk front end and rear fender! A left side shot would give more clues.

With a closer look it looks like it has 2 carbs. Possibly a CB77 engine also. I also see a crankcase cover instead of the CA77 carb covers. Notice also the rearsets.



Also found a pic of a CE71.

Ok, Now I see a CA frame, a CE71 tank, a CB72/77 motor and front end, and a CB92 seat and rear fender.

Hey Kevin and Wilson,

Either one of you guys made any progress on what you are going to do to your CLs yet? I'm getting curious because, if things turn out the way I've planned (my fingers are crossed here), I'll be using a CA77 (that I'm gathering parts to change to a CL) motor in my 67' CL77 roller. No way could I ever make the CL a resto so, I'm looking at building something out of it. Thinking a Cafe but not totally sure. I'm really interested in what you all are talking. It'll be a little bit before I get into mine much, but I'm definitely taking notes guys.
Later on, Bill
