CL77 side covers

Post by ggray » Tue Mar 06, 2007 6:36 pm

After stripping my side covers for repaint I noticed the LH cover had hemmed edges (Metal turned back on itself for a burr free edge) on the inside of the cover whereas the RH side cover had no hems on the edges.

Was this the norm?????

I've only seen the ones I have and not any to compare them to.

All of you CL77 owners, can you take a look at your's and let me know if yours are the same as mine?

Thanks,

Gary

Gary,
I have a 1967 CL77 and I just checked both my side covers. They are both the same in that the only place it is rolled back is where it fits around the air cleaner connecting tubes. Everywhere else is a flat edge.

My left hand cover has the edge hemed where it would come close to a stock air filter boot. The RH cover is gone.

Rob,
You have a 67 CL77 so I am still looking to see what year I have. My frame # is 1039721.
What is your frame #?
I don't have papers for my bike so I have no other way to identify it.

Side covers.

Thanks guys, Mine appear to be OEM covers, not sure if anyone ever made aftermarket replacements.

I seem to remember replacing one or the other some time in the 35 years I've owned the bike. Perhaps one was from a later year than 1965 or perhaps one is from a CL72.

I was just curious.
