Hi All I'm Nicola and in the UK (Bristol) trying to find a Honda CB77 TO RESTORE which I think I have my work cut out just trying to find one over here and to top it of I want to find a set of CYP77 Engine Bars to fit to one and more I hunt I Feel like I need my head read for wanting one

A Bit about me riding for manyyyyyyyyyy Moons had a old show Suzi GT250A and did a few VJMC Shows & restorations and Miss the Fun of my old Honda CB400/4 Super Sport and Promised my self once I Had a house with a Garage I Would Restore Bikes I Love when I was younger and CB77 Is one of them and the Suzuki Bearcat as its a Two Stroker lov the smell But only down side both are rare and I think I should not go for a match Pair of a CB & CL77

I ride most of the year on a Kwak VN900 Cruiser and Have a Small Suzi GS550 Chop for Fun its time to go for my 1st Love and thats classic 60's Bikes

Hi Alan

I've gone through most of those and got near 2 grand to spend on one so I hope that gets a fair one for the price

I will be asking lots of questions plus I'm very rusty on restoration plus I have to resist getting a CL77 as they do look smart and fun

Nicola

Alan that is sweet as you like and It would put my Bearcat back for a long while and other bit wrong time for me as the side of my garage is coming down for a garage Extension Not fair

Plus is that the last year one and is it the less desirable model and the muffer does not come of on those or am I wrong

They are all 'desirable' and you will struggle to find one as good and cheap as that in the UK.

After some thing that happened yesterday Yes I can afford it.

And very good ones are rare as hell which I know far to well

as much as I like it and want it

1, Half my garage is being riped out by builders so damage to a classic bike is not good
2,Once Garage made double there will be paint and making it to a workshop as well and making sure the other 2 don't get hit or covered
3,Time to get it is none at the moment for me

I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place if it was in a months time I Would have it
