1967 Honda CB77 Walkaround and Demo

A walk-around my 1967 Honda CB77 Superhawk discussing the details of its frame-up, nut-and-bolt restoration.

It looks so much like the CD175 I bought in '67 that it pulls at my heart strings and if that 305 had been in the store I'm sure I would have chosen it instead. Nice job restoring Jon.

Nice to see the original Honda blue color on this bike. I worked for two dealers, there were four options - Red, Blue, White, and Black. The seat looks so good with the chrome trim and that little hump against the tank. Seems like we started seeing that feature in 1966 along with the change from steel lower for sliders to the aluminum like you have here. There was a handle bar change also, went from flat like yours (which was standard from the first CBs) to a modest rise starting in '66 also, IIRC. Only had one issue with my own Super Hawk when it broke a shift fork roller at about 2000 miles and I sold it to a friend.

If you don't have OEM style Lexan "305 SuperSport" tank badges, there's an old guy up in Minnesota "re-popping" them. Last I heard his price was about $200 a pair, but his don't yellow from gasoline fumes like the originals did, or get those tiny hair-line sub-surface "cracks". His are optical resin (eyeglass lenses stuff). He was on Fee-Pay with other parts too. For a "runner" rather than a Concours bike, Candlepower (Inc.) made a 6 3/8" headlight reflector and lens and I'm running an LED headlight and have the weak selenium rectifier in the shop and a solid-state rectifier/regulator and electronic ignition on my 1964. The 1964 coils are original and have weakened with age. I turned 70 in Dec. 2023, and year before last, I rode it to my neurologist's office while I was still walking like a stepped-on roach from a major stroke! In 2023, I barely put 3500 miles on her, but she got fresh Castrol 10W-40 "R" oil twice anyway. She pulls 75 MPH with me at 157 pounds and 5'9" all day @ 7500-ish RPM of her 11,000 red-line.

Jon - you did a beautiful job on that. What do you have coming up next on BaT, if you care to say? I’m opening my checkbook.

[@kosmjon2]

Thank you! Actually, I have just finished a 1962 CB77 in Scarlet red and Cloud silver. This 62 is likely the oldest I'll ever own and it has some interesting differences from 63 and later versions of the bike. I will be posting videos of that one shortly.
