The dampers on my 1967 CL77 have a metal top shroud. Should these be plastic like the CB of this year. What is the eye to eye damper length for the CL77? Mine measure 300mm assembled.

Re: CL77 Dampers
Greg,
It's my understanding is that ALL CL72s and 77s had the metal top cover on the rear dampers, mine certainly came like that.
I think it may have something to do with the proximity of the left hand damper to the exhaust pipes?

Re: CL77 Dampers
DJM is correct.
The plastic cover has a larger diameter and the left side gets melted by the pipe. ......................lm
