You check Hondakeys.com? You need to match the blank type, the number means nothing WRT the blank type. Use his site to determine exactly what type of blank you need. Some years have a couple different options. I just ordered 4 keys from him for various old Hondas. I do have a couple of the old styl...

+1 on all the advice above about leaving it original. If you do anything to the engine, I would glass bead the head and its side and top covers, cylinder, and crankcase halves, then leave them alone for the factory look. They were not painted or polished. The clutch and right side covers were paint...

to command that kind of money it had better be all stock and original. Original bikes, even if a little rough, command some good money as survivors. But that bike is missing some key items. I think the 1500 to 2000 range might be good, if it's low miles and runs real good with no bad leaks or smokin...

seems that rule of thumb has been.

Points systems around .028

Electronic systems around .035

I've not seen anything that really deviated from that by much if any.

doesn't surprise me. These charging systems are marginal at best at idle. Both my 750 Hondas act the same way, a few revs and they will flash.

As I recall, a solution is to put more load on the flasher and it will do a better job of flashing at lower voltages.

that bike would have to be absolutely perfect IMO to bring that kind of money. That problem is a full motor tear down and split. Well maybe it could be turned upside down and just the bottom taken off. either way though, LOTS of work and a few hundred dollars in parts for gears, forks, gaskets, seal...

the CA77 suspension will punish you on gravel roads. There just isn't much there. You are also missing the carby covers. There is a pic on another thread of a solo seat with an old Honda CT200 rack on the back. Very trick looking. Are you missing the seat completely or is it just rough? That bike is...
