Literature for CA77 Restore

Well, I just went down there and I can't find a number as described. Bear in mind, the previous owner spray painted (with a can) the whole bike. Regardless, I would have expected to see a faint number. Not so.

Thanks,

Beck

Motor # is CA771E 1031071

The riveted number on the frame was painted over, but the engine and the frame don't go together anyway. The engine (runs quite well) was installed on this frame a few years ago.

Thanks, Beck

Sort of under and behind the exhaust header.
It's there as HONDA issued thousands of these bikes. ..................lm

Wow, I think I finally found it. What I'm seeing runs vertical and I can only really make out one number. It's really painted over. So I'll get some paint thinner and some steel wool tomorrow and see if I can uncover it.

Thanks,

Beck

OK, after about an hour of scrubbing I found CA78 - but no other numbers to the right or underneath. Am I still missing something?

Thanks,

Beck

You should have something that looks like this

Crap, maybe a wire brush and gun cleaning solvent will reveal something.

Thanks,

How about using a little bit of paint stripper?
