Check This Racing CB77 Out

Post by Tom W. » Wed Sep 21, 2005 3:05 pm

Found this while surfing.<br /><br />http://www.batorinternational.com/bator ... ge2.htm<br /><br />Look about 2/3 down the page and you'll find a CB77 vintage racer. The asking price ain't cheap.<br /><br />It's a cool look and I was hoping some knowledgeable CB77 folks can point out what changes they made. I noticed these:<br /><br />1. Scrambler front fender?<br />2. Stock forks with cover removed?<br />3. Relocated coils.<br />4. Foot pegs moved aft.<br />5. Rotated shifter arm (that would confuse me...).<br />6. No starter.<br />7. Cool clip-ons, gas tank, &amp; seat.<br /><br />Anything else? Can we save these photos somewhere or is there a copyright issue?<br /><br />Tom

CB160 front fender<br />Aluminum rims<br />I wonder why the brake hubs aren't drilled (holed) for lightness?. ....

There are some ~1&quot; cooling holes drilled on the RHS of the front hub. You can see it in the 2nd photo. Where would you drill the lightening holes on the hub?<br /><br />Tom

Goofiy me. I only looked at the first pic. My CB77 has one (apx 1 1/4 in. hole) just in front of the short lever with screen in it on the front backing plate and the rear looks to have six 1 in. holes evenly spaced in the rear backing plate. ..........LM<br />

Now that I take another look at the front brakes I notice there isn't a air scoop. On other racing bikes I've seen with drum brakes there's a scoop of some sort on the &quot;fixed&quot; side and the rotating side has the holes for the cooling air to exit.<br /><br />I also see a black cylinder in between the different carbs Loud Mouse pointed out. I wonder what that is?<br /><br />Tom
