The stay was changed (widened) for the rear fender) mount bolts to install through the rubber and that changed the size of the bolt hole in the fender to a larger hole. (1967 ISSUE) .....................lm

The small harness in the center is NOS. My main harness was in pretty decent shape so it was a pretty easy fix.

Anyone who can tell me if there is a clear visible difference between the different types of rear grab bars?
Want to buy one, since mine has broken off inside the frame tubes.
I bought one from Classic Honda Restoration on a close-out that was too narrow for my '67 CL77. Not sure, if it was made wrong or if there was a design change from earlier models. I ended up repairing and re-chroming my original.

Got this one laying around waiting for a fresh powercoat.
Still has the original spikes if I'm correct.

Now I only need a new foam, cover and the trim.

Here are some pics of the seat pan from my 67 CL77. My question is how do I mount the seat? My manual is from early model CL77s so it doesn't show how to mount. You will see in hte pictures I post the mounting bolt I have. DO the holes on the mounting stalks just go under the bolt? Is there a rubber grommet that goes in the holes? Help!

You show an early (CL72) pan...........you need a '67 pan with the different mounts.........and your mounting studs may fit a CB72-77 but you will need proper bolts with rubber cushions, washers, and nuts that mount from the bottom.

Regarding the grab-bar.......rear fender brace.......the '67 requires the unique wider brace because the frame is wider to accommodate the rubber-mounted fender.

If your still looking by this time next year, I will be back from a year-long trip and check my 'inventory'...........

Anyone who has advice on how to easily mount these on the airfilter brackets? Is there a trick?
Got them from ClaussStudios, these guys have great products.

Warm them up and use some dish soap

I got one side started and used a small straight slot screwdriver to push them the rest of the way in

Worked fine, thanks.

Will be installing my freshly painted left side engine cover soon.
I have a new gasket, will this do or do you guys use Hondabond or liquid gasket on top of a regular gasket?

If only to use the normal gasket, do I mount it dry or soak it in oil first?
