Hi,

Both colors are used (diamond structure), I acquired several NOS grips for the C71 /76 and C72 / 77 in the search for the early diamond structure grips for my CB72'61. I did found only the left grip, I'm searching for a right one, anyone ?

btw, the diamond structure is early, and these weren't used on '63 versions, from my understanding these were used on 1959, 1960 and 1961, but I don't claim I'm absolutely right either,

Hi Jensen

Nice to see you back on the Forum! I have a NOS pair of the early diamond pattern grips and know someone who has another pair but he will not sell them to me :-(

My second 1962 C72 (German / Finnish) appears to have the straight pattern 'brown' grips.

C77 Restoration

Nice restoration! I was particularly drawn to the tires and wheels - where did you get them and what size are they, or were they in good enough shape to rechrome?

John
