1961 CB72

I own a 1961 CB72 frame number 12202, which I am in the process of restoring.<br />Anyone interested in sharing information on the 1961 models. My bike has many parts which differ from the 1962 onwards bikes.<br /><br />David<br />

See my post under &quot;Honda Superhawk CB72/CB77&quot; &quot;'61 CB 72&quot; Some things I remember: The oil pump is weak; the gear is mounted with bronze rivets which had a tendency to fail. Mine did in Salt Lake City. Is yours complete ?? I'd give my left whatever for a '61 CB72.....but I probably couldn't afford it. BeeBee

Bill Silver points out many of the 1 of a kind 61 parts. To start with I need a seat pan and an upper fork tripple clamp and a cylinder head. Maybe we could exchange lists and notify each other of finds. Shoot me an e-mail off line!<br /><br />P-Town Mike

I think I have some early Hawk parts and can check next week when I return. I'm leaving shortly for a trip to Mississippi. I think I may have the small plug head but not totally certain cause if I do I restored it a while back. ................LM

I have parts for the CB/CL72/77 bikes in draweers and boxes and on shelves. I don't keep a inventory list so I'll look for parts if you tell me what parts you may need. As you and most others know the 61 bike parts are rare so if I don't have what you need don't be surprised. The hardest parts to find are the aluminum front fender, aluminum rear top shock covers nad the air intake tubes. I don't have any of those here. ..........LM
