Determining Year of CB77s

maaseyracer · Post by **maaseyracer** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:51 pm

I just acquired a few CB77s and 72s, I am trying to figure out the year of them. As a couple of them do not have titles any more. Is there any way to determine the year of them from the VIN? I know one of the frames is a 1961 CB72.

Any info on this would be great.

If you post the VIN numbers, we can help determine the year.

Ok, here they are:

CB72-13073 - 1961
CB77-310549
CB77-1042137
Cb77 21548
Cb72 401287
Cb77 104553
Cb72 13392 - 1961
Cb77 1055825

CL77 1006813
CL77 1004145
CL72 20029 - 1962?
CL77 1067165
CL77 1065725

Some of these were rather hard to read, and I may need to remove some more dirt and paint to verify. Please let me know if some of them look off. I have titles for many of these bikes, however some of the bikes have years on the titles that cannot exist. I thought it would be best to post them all.

Off the top of my head it is missing:
Seat
Speedometer
Chainguard

Everything else appears there for the most part. I can confirm later. I am still sorting through the pile of parts.

CL77 1006813 1965? small hubs steel fork lowers?
CL77 1004145 1965? small hubs steel fork lowers?

CL72 20029 - 1962? 1962
CL77 1067165 1967 most likely
CL77 1065725 1967 most likely.

Post some pics when you get a chance. I'm right up the 101 in San Rafael.

Awesome Dave,
Thanks. Anyone know the CB77 years that Dave did not get?

Dave, I will post photos as I document each bike. I cruise through San Rafael almost daily. We will have to talk shop one of these days.
