Steverino's CB77

[sixtiescycle]

I traded the mufflers for a seat. It is a NOS aftermarket seat from Thailand and the trim is metal. I think it will look pretty nice.

I have a question about the used seat in the pictures. Is it a SuperHawk Seat?

Also, here are some pictures of the CMS and Overlander Mufflers. They both have round mounting holes but I'm not ready to test fit them. I hope they fit.

Nice seat! : )
I'm assuming everything went well with the battery ordeal.
Yep LM is right, CL77 seat, looks like a late one with it's silver faded to gold piping.

I was on the way to Dicks house Friday with about five or six miles to go. I pulled over to the side of the road to check my directions... then of course my car wouldn't start. I called him and he kindly brought some jumper cables, and the seat. We made the muffler for seat swap right there beside the road. After we got my car started he led me to the nearest Bi Mart. I bought a socket set and a battery and a half hour later I was headed home. So, with Dicks help, what could of been a royal pain in the neck turn into a minor glitch. Thank You Dick, I really appreciate your help.

Pay it fwd, at some point it will come back to you! I'm glad it worked out fine. The mufflers are now with their new owner, they were not for me. I was not going to use the seat so it found a new home with Steve. I got a few $$ back in pocket maybe for another deal. ; )

This seat is a great solution for me. The original had been recovered without the trim so I didn't have a good original seat to compare this one to. But standing on it's own I think it looks great. The cover is well fitted and has no wrinkles. The trim is metal, not plastic, and the Honda Stencil looks authentic to me. My bike came with the turned up seat but I like this flat seat. I am collecting parts for another CB77 project so I am interested in hearing about what is considered the ultimate solution for the perfect seat. The prettiest seat I've ever seen was on this beautiful Black Bomber that was at the Corvallis Show a few years ago. I would like to get a Bomber sometime down the road. either a project or nice original would be fine with me. Some people don't like the whale tank, but I do.

Flat Bars or Stock?
I've been looking for front brake, clutch and throttle cables. I noticed a supplier sells a flat bar conversion kit for not much more than the cost of just the cables. This made me think a little about doing a flat bar conversion. One of the questions I had was how well the slightly longer bar wiring would tolerate being looped around in the headlight bucket. I figure that's what most people do when they do that conversion. I have pretty much decided to stay stock. Especially since I've already refurbished and installed my original medium bars.

I took my originals to Star Brite Plating yesterday. I was told the cost would be 300 dollars, and that was without removing the dents. They use copper to smooth the surface and he said when the copper gets hot it turns blue, so with that news I started shopping for the best repops I could find. Here is a picture of my originals and the reproductions DSS is selling. I ordered a set.

Interesting transaction there on the side of the road... Nice OEM mufflers for a seat and both parties satisfied.

Interesting transaction there on the side of the road... Nice OEM mufflers for a $50 seat and a ride to Bi Mart???. I think Mr. Steverino is the one who "payed it fwd."

I'll have to challenge you on the $50 you quote, show me where I can buy a new never been mounted, in the box repop seat w/the chrome trim strip within 30 miles of my location that I can buy for no more than a $50 bill out of my wallet.

Nice OEM mufflers? I "think" Mr. Steverino............. Did you actually see them with you're own eyes, in person? "Think" is the key word here. More like rust pitted dent free mufflers that look good from 10ft.

As far as pay it fwd I'm referring to the drive to jump start his car and make sure he got to place for repairs. Geesh!
