The passenger pegs for the CB72/77 bikes were solid however the CA/CL72/77 bikes came with folding passenger pegs here in the US. .................lm

The folding pegs have an 810 code so wetre probably a legal requirement in the US.

Even then the passenger pegs were still solid on US bikes, I think.

Somehow I have ended up with a NOS set of rigid pegs and have always wondered why this difference exists. Any ideas?

Weird, isn't it?

C100 and C110 had solid passenger pegs in the UK....

Making some progress finally!
My initial impression of the compression was incorrect- it's actually good only on the left side. I found zero on the right and figure the motor must come to pieces for inspection/repair of the head. Most likely a bent valve.

Found the exact ignition key on eBay a while ago!

I need to source a gasket set.
Also looking at going fully electronic- ignition, regulator, and lithium battery.
Any sources recommended?
Thanks all!
