Hi LM,
I have a very early CB72 frame, and a very early engine with it.
Most stuff is the same as the 61, but some parts are different, like the front brake panel.

Hi LM,
I'm afraid so, that's why I think it's a unofficial 1960 version, dated as a official 1961.
I hope to find all parts that I need to get it on it's wheels, but this will be more difficult then all other projects together. I'm looking at a unexplored path, not many people in this world can give first hand information (you my feel flattered).
Since I got a bare frame (in need of welding, for some reason the upper engine hangers are cut off, and the rear tubes that holds the seat are cut off too), a very early engine, tail light, rear mud guard, early stainless steel mufflers (heavily dented)
What I need : all the rest

I'd say ya have a long time project just locating the correct parts for sure.
Of course since the forums have come along rare parts are located each day.
Good luck. ...........lm

Hi,
That's the one, thanks for the picture.
Why are you turning his into a racer ?
A CB72 61 is a very rare bike, and nice too.
Many parts are different, and (very) difficult to find.
If you like to trade parts for more modern parts, I'm interested.
