another novice question

My 1966 cb77 motor appears to be bare aluminum. Crankcase, cylinders, and the head. The clutch and alternator covers are painted. Did they come new that way? Later Honda models had motors that were completely painted I believe. Thanks, Gary

Yes, bare aluminum with painted covers is standard.

Seadog, thanks for the info. Now to find a close color match for the covers. Gary

The colour is still in Honda's inventory and is called Cloud Silver with the code NH35M. If you have a painted part you might be able to find a good match at any automotive supply place.
