Just wanted to say to everyone. I'm new to the 305 forum, and CB77s, but restored and still own a CB450 Black Bomber and a CB750 K0. I love the old Hondas. The Superhawk as been on my list for a while, and I finally one locally that I intend to restore.

Reading through the forums here, gives me the impression that this is a pretty good bunch of helpful and knowledgeable guys. I'm sure I'll need help as I learn about these great little bikes. Hopefully someday I'll be able to help someone else with what I learn.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and drop a pic of the CB77 I bought. It's titled as a 68, but so far I think it's a 66 or 67. The frame is 1044220.

Wel come to the forum!

Tidy looking late bike - shouldn't present too many problems for restoration.

Welcome to the Forum! Looks like a 66 or 67, last year of actual production. Also, looks to be complete, and a great bike to restore.

You're doing it opposite of me! I'm knee deep in the CB750K0, and my superhawk is around the same age as your's. Mine is registered as a 68, but it's a 66. The date is on the main harness under the tank, if it's still surviving there. Good Luck, this is a great site. Lot's of knowledgeable people.

Welcome, looks like a good score. Should look good next to the mustang (66?) I like the celebratory brew on the truck....................................D

Welcome! Seems to be a rash of these popping outta the woodwork ... so did you sneak into my garage and steal a picture??

Mine is a 66 CB and is 5500 before yours (1049722), so I agree with Davo, but leaning toward 67. What's the date on the wiring harness tag underneath the seat?

My outlaws are in LA and I visit every few months. I'll PM you when I'm coming down.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. You all support my premise that this is a great site. I did look under the tank for the tag on the wiring harness (my Bomber had the samething). I didn't want to yank it around too much, but I unfortunately didn't see any date. I'll probably register it as a 67, and go with that.

I've already scored some great NOS parts from the guy I bought it from. He has a 61 CB77 that someone stole the engine out, while he was restoring it. I put another engine in it that he had laying around in his backyard (the engine is in rough shape), and I assembled some of it so he can sell it as a parts bike. It's on CL now (Orange County or Los Angeles section).

I'll post progress on my bike as it develops.
