Snowed in and too much time on my hands. Decided to try and make a slideshow/video. I even tried to put in on Youtube.
Here is the link. If you click on this you will go right there. https://youtu.be/fh3q992Zxo0

Must be very satisfying to progress this far on your Super Hawk. Motor sounds great! How did you sort out the throttle cables?

The cables have presented some unique challenges. On the throttle cable the length of the cable after the end of the cable conduit was not long enough. I trimmed 1/2" of each of the lower throttle cable conduit to effectively make the cable longer and allow the slide to bottom out. So far it is working.

Really nice job,
I also liked your YouTube video, I always promise myself I’ll do a video diary on my next project but find I’ve half dismantled the bike before I remember the video.

There's a lot of things I wish I had taken before and after pictures but since it seems like I have do to everything twice I usually have more than one chance. My 65 CB77 project update is not too much progress. I have fitted almost everything back at some time or another. It keeps coming apart. I have fitted the old Harley Davidson aftermarket mufflers to the bike. It sounds wicked. Cables are all in and working. Tach is moving but not even close to correct, Still trying to get the carbs sealed up. The main issue now is the clutch is STUCK. I've tried everything so now I'm going to tear it down. I'm looking for a mudflap with brackets and a sidestand. Please let me know. Here's a few pics of the current state of the bike.
