I have a 66 cb77. I am curious about a potential list of all finishes for the bike.
I can't seem to find definitive info- particularly about the cases and top end.
How much of this is wrong?

2. Paint "silver/aluminum":

Rear fender
Taillight bracket

Thanks Ed.

So based on this- the top end and the cases are not painted, but bare aluminium?

AND--Based on your other posts, round bead is acceptable media to get them to proper state?

And: silver paint for the horn; white cadmium for the horn bracket, tach cable holder, rear brake stay, and footpeg mounts; media blast for the aluminum footpeg mounting castings(?). Chase
