Is it a '64? Looks more like a '67, doesn't it? And did some examples not come with the rear mud flap, or is this one just missing?

The bike and frame and engine numbers are 1967.
Rear fender has holes for the missing mud flap.
If NOS where is the engine to coil ground strap?
Missing wire guide for tach cable at the horn.
Both air cleaner cover knobs are smooth cast rather than having HM.
The one on the engine cover is correct.
Missing front brake cable guide at the left bolt of the lower triple clamp. ................lm

I'm afraid to say that it didn't have the look of an unused bike when up close.

I thought it was going to be this one.....

That makes two unused CB77s. What a waste......

I might be wrong, but this collection of bikes sure looks like it was/is the collection that CMSNL had for sale.

And since CMSNL doesn't have the 'bikes for sale' page anymore, I guess it probably is !'

edit : No doubt after seeing lot 240, that bike comes from cmsnl, I thought it would be a good buy, but I have way to many projects on my hands !

Yes - Mike Buttinger is the man behind CMSNL....
