Part compatibility

Post by froggy » Tue Jun 24, 2014 9:02 am

hi all,
I need to tap in your vast knowledge!
I located a wire harness and the chain guard for my dream 305 CA77.
My bike is a 1962 model. The parts I found are off a 1963 model.
Are they compatible?

Thank you
cheers

hi folks.
I have to make an offer on these parts very soon before they get snatched by someone else, so I can really use your expert opinion.
thank you

Unfortunately there were some changes to the bike mid-63. I don't think the chafes should have materially affected the fit of those two parts unless you are after 100% originality...

Thank you for the replies.
G-man: i am not necessarily looking for 100% original at this time. If the 1963 parts fit well on my 1962, then it's fine for now. Trying to get the # of the harness sticker.

Loud Mouse: i am not sure I understand what you are saying. Sorry ;-( Are you asking me to enter in my profile the location where I live in order to get some answers from the knowledgeable people around here? I am a bit confused...

Cheers

What LM is saying is add your location to your profile you will find that most of us look for that and if your in the same state lots of time you will find others willing to help.
