Selling A CA77E

Post by Dr. Frankenstein » Wed Nov 06, 2019 1:51 pm

Hi everyone - after much debate and hemming and hawing, I have decide to thin the herd a little and sell that black CA77E I rebuilt. This same ad's in the classifieds section, but to make it easier here it is:

A rather rare 1963 CA77E rebuilt with the help of everybody on here(special thanks to LM and GMan). New pistons, sleeves, gaskets and seals, front forks and chain. It does needs a little work, but nothing major - the seat needs recovering, it definitely needs new tires, but I've been riding it up and down the street no problem.. its missing the left badge on the tank, brakelight works but needs to be hooked up, speedo is Iffy...

But the Good...! Original no-seam tank doesn't leak, runs smooth and STRONG, sounds like a Harley with those shotgun pipes on it; accelerates, brakes and idles great; doesn't leak oil, shifts great, starts right up; an awesome bike, with a lot of man-hours put in. Comes with assorted sundry spare parts ( I save everything) and I'll even throw in the AGM battery. She needs to be ridden...and loved...and ridden some more! :) johnp309@yahoo.com for more information, or text 540-683-1160.


And PICS! Before....

And After...! I don't think it turned out too bad...

I'd like to get $1,000 for it, but for everybody on here I'm easy...make me an offer.
Let me know what you think, and if there's any interest; thanks!

Those are your pistons in there, G...many thanks! I am amazed at how quick she runs.

Another one brought back to life. Great stuff. I hope she goes to an appreciative new owner.

Yes, I believe she did; I told him about the forum, so hopefully we'll see him on here - but Man it was tough seeing her go...esp. after all the work I put in.

Meh; I still have too many bikes; and even another 305 waiting in the wings...she needs to be ridden, and the new owner seems like a nice guy. So keep an eye out! :)

I think I've seen the new owner on the 305 Facebook group.

I'll have to look him up, but I'm not on FB myself. Are you in that group?
