I was told my old bike was a 67 and after looking at the speedo/instrument clusters in the FAQ, I now question '67. The bike had an earlier speedo, but maybe it wasnt the original speedo. Can someone tell me to what year CB771051609 corresponds? Or like the question above, steer me in the direction where I can look it up myself?

Thanks

Ok , finally got the scanner figured out

Here is what my Superhawk looked like in 1973. I was 13 and boy did it haul buns (at least for me it did).

This topic, Durangoman, is all looking a bit like a one-way street, so no comment......

The frame number ya give would be for a 1967.
However the pic you show is for a 1965 and earlier. ...........lm

ed, what parts of the bike are giving that away?

I only ask because he mentioned his speedo was an earlier one, I wonder if parts of the bike may have been replaced after a wreck.
