The search function will lead to several threads on tires, metric replacements and where you might find them. Brakes and knob probably found on ebay or in the "parts wanted" forum here. I think you can find the manual online. Search this site to find out where. Best wishes on your new bike.

Barn Find CL77Hey Jon, Thanks for your response. Rode bike yesterday!! Need brakes bad. Everything seems to work. Have decided to keep it as an 'Original Survivor' will only fix what is broke. Confused as to Year of bike. Although titled as a 1967, wire harness tag says 1965 and VIN # seems like a 1966. Any thoughts? Need ALL cables, getting extra keys from Hawaii of all places. Ordered Clymer shop manual off ebay. Let me know what you have as spares. New Berlin is not that far from Lodi. Thanks, Gregg
CL77Honda usually titled them as the year sold. If the tag says 1965, then it probably is and right at the change over. 67s also had the muffler fixed to the top pipe and slid on the lower. I believe the chain guards on the early models were of the slotted type and the 67s also had a seam on top of the tank. JMHO
