Welcome to the forum! The numbers are indeed for a 63. Sounds like it had a lot of "upgrades" throughout it's life, not at all uncommon! I just completed a biuld of a CL72 for a friend that had one in high school, in 1964. We built a Super Scrambler, CB77 engine in a CL72 frame. It's in his hands now, and he's putting some finshing touches on it!

64 CB77 63-7 CB77 Cafe' 67 CL77 64 CL72 66 CL77 big bore flat tracker Many others! thanksThanks for the welcome. I see your in the bay area, I lived in ElSobrate, just across the bridge from you, I worked at a place in Richmond called Recycle Motor Cycle Salvage. on and off for about 7-8 years. I was wondering if any body knows if the steel fork axles caps where on any of the later alloy forks or are they from another bike all together. The forks look like they are cl forks, from some year???
