Just acquired a 1964 C 78, Canadian model. Is this bike an early or late version? Not sure of the range of years that make it early or late. Thanks for any help.

Early C78s were actually C77s.

Why not post some pictures and we can help you out....

Sorry, no pics yet. It does have the late style fuel tank.
Frame # C781003829
Engine # C77E1003878
Can anyone shed some light on the clutch cable style? My case has the rectangular notch in the top for the cable stopper. Is this the late long cable style and is that stopper used only on the late models? Sorry, I'm used to two stroke Yamahas. Appreciate any help. Thanks.
