I had trouble finding the sprockets here in UK and eventually bought a 15T gearbox sprocket for a CB77 and machined it (thinner) to fit. The chain size for a CA77 is 525 and for a CB77 is 530 i.e. it is wider. Also be sure to check the gearbox sprocket splines match the shaft as I found there are bo...

When Honda designed the C72/C77 they made a very competent machine, regarded as a ‘Gentleman’s motorcycle’ by a contemporary tester. But then the CB version took it into a different class and much more sporting. Maybe this explains why the CB has rather good brakes and the C version simply doesn't. ...

They are a special design and I made new ones using low head stainless steel allen screws and machine...

To answer my own question, yes the CB condenser works fine on the CA using just one half of it. I measured a CB condenser at .26 and .27 uF which compares well with the .24 uF shown on the wiring diagram. An added bonus is now the bike carries it's own spare condenser.

Whilst fitting the carburetor to my 66' 305 Dream I noticed a hole, probably a drain hole, which sits under the carb' and leads through to inside the right hand casing. I didn't measure the hole but it is certainly big enough to swallow a dropped M6 nut. Don't ask how I know this, just be careful an...

I was looking at condensers to fit a 1966 CA77 and they are not readily available in the UK, however, the condenser for the CB77 is and is relatively inexpensive. From a wiring diagram I have noted the CA condenser is .24uF but can not find the same info for the CB. I realise the CA has only one set...
