Early model or late

Post by Frank » Thu Apr 11, 2019 7:50 am

Hi, I just bought a 1965 cb77 project bike. Is this considered an early model or late?

They started in 1961 and ended in 1967.

Generally the 'late' models are '66/'67 where the front fork sliders are aluminum and other changes happened.

Not sure of all of them off the top of my head. Very late ones had chrome fenders, lip-up seat, probably different carbs without powerjet castings, oval rear light etc. etc.....
