Dutch CB77 project

Post by bonjour » Sat Aug 21, 2010 3:22 am

Well, im restauring a probably '67 CB77.
As you may know, the beginning of my project can be seen at : www.4takt.net --> plofpony's --> CB77 project.

Now that I have all the parts ready, it's time for the assembly, so I thought, let's make a new topic here !
It's not my meaning of making it a 100% resto, but just make the bike nice, it doesn't have to be perfect since I will drive it alot (exept not in the wet n cold season's)
Just a nice cool CB77 , with a flaw here and there, wich I personally think , does an old bike like this needs for more character !
So no filler or lead is used, the bike you see is 100% pure, no hidden stuff !
I think the few small dents and bump's on the fenders and side cover's give's it a great look, it scream's : im old and im still going !
Lol, something like that :P

Anyway, here are the picture's when the assembly really started.

Ill try to update every progress I made.

Frame mounted to the engine (damn that engine is heavy !!!)

The brake and clutch handle are from Suzuki GS serie's , the brake handle also does have a brake light switch, wich is better for safety ofcourse. But they are pretty nice handle's wich look really good on the bike, since it's going to have a 'cafe racer' look with the CYB buddy and low bars.

Today im going to mount the front and rear fender.

from my own experience, you need to install the tool box before the rear fender (assuming you're installing it)...also slip the rear brake cable into place when installing rear fender, it's a tight clearance and very easy to scratch new paint on fender...

also recommend installing chain guard before mounting rear wheel...it's possible to do it after, but a lot easier with wheel off...

lookin' good, like the handlebars! I agree that a few dings and dents add to the charisma and charm.

Thanks for the tips.

As for the tool-box, I don't have it.

Ill probably make something for the tools later.

Tool boxes show up regularly on eBay; usually cheap and aplenty.

First im going to finish the bike, then im going to focus on detail work like tool-boxes.

Anyway, the bike is beginning to turn into a bike !
