Thinking cb450 bomber dimension bars, cafe seat, Pod K&N filters, and CB350 signals. Gotta get the cassis and engine sorted out first.
If any one wants these bars I'll ship them at cost of shiping.
NewbieTail light and chrome fenders are specific to the 67 model. It also has the correct lip up seat, one piece exhaust, and speedo / tach combo. Looks quite restorable. These guys sell repro bars and cables, as well as many other parts, and are an absolute pleasure to deal with. If you choose to go the cafe' route, look in the CYP77 / racers / choppers section of this forum for some of our interpetaions.

Chris, welcome along to The Madhouse: good to see another 305 rescued!
My growing database shows 10530XX to be a '67, so yours is too. None was manufactured in '68, although some were '68 registered. The horn looks like one from a later (175?, 250?) model or a Dream touring model, but not definitely NOT correct for yours, TMK.
Bars.Sent a pm for the bars but no reply. e-mail me at christopher_noel92@hotmail.com if you'd still like them. Have them off now and I can get a shiping quote for you.
Keep the info coming if you have some. I'm throwing nothing away that could end up being original even if I remove parts during my rebuild.
Hello Steve.
While visiting Jerry Kooistra in MANNUM, AU. I saw in his shop (a shop to kill for) what I expected to be a CB77 as it had all the parts HONDA changed with the 1967 CB77 issues. To my surprise I was told it is a CB72! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????? Sure enough it is a CB72 with CB72E-1009XXX engine and close to matching frame number. (check the Bill Silver data on this for total issue 1965-1967) Knowing the US didn't receive any CB72 bikes after some time in 1965 (early I presume) I see this number there in Australia. It is the Red issue and is for sure all parts are original. IMO! Things which I saw that HONDA added in 1967 were: Tappet covers, tail light bracket, turn signals, one piece mufflers and handle bar grips. Unusual things are the chrome head light rim mounts with the usual 2 flat screws and has a screw to LOWER/RAISE the beam and a parking light and replaceable HL bulb, non folding rider pegs, FLAT BARS and SLIM DESIGN HORN. I have wondered about the seats for these CB72/77 bikes for many years and this bike sort of/may help/add to my question about them. This bike is for sure a 1967 issue with a "FLAT SEAT" not the raised front. I have wondered about the raised front seat since I first saw one on a CB77 many years back. My question was/is. IF ALL CB77 bikes after the first to get the RAISED FRONT SEAT (1034092) then "WHERE ARE THAT MANY OF THOSE SEATS TODAY"? LAST (1056432) Were there numbers not used at the start of 1966 or 1967 and numbers were not a continuous series but some were not used at the end of the years? Has 7981 MILES on the speedo which the MPH surprised me as AU is KPH and I was informed that AU went to METRIC after the bike was issued and the speedo is correct. I will say it is the best unmolested example of a CB72 I've seen. .............lm
