So in the car world I can assume its Numbers matching ? only paid $ 400 had it Running within 1/2 hour after getting it home ......The fenders have been cut and I was wondering do I order parts for a C78 or a C77 ..............is the CA version an American version and what interchanges ? Thanks for the replies.
Sorry for so many questions but I don't want to Disrespect what it is.
any advise as to where to purchase parts ....I will load a photo when I can figure it out.

eBay is your friend for most parts. C78 was just a change of numbers and was pretty much the same bike as a C77 hence the engine number. C78 came in around mid '63 so avoid frame parts earlier than that.
Once you send in pictures we will all be able to chip in with comments / help. Try and find a parts manual and workshop manual and look out for Bill Silver's restoration guide under the literature section in the yellow bar to the left of this page.
