I was looking for a rotor a while back and ebay never seemed be on short supply.

That's fine too. It doesn't change the challenge of this. haha. Rotors seem to be just as much of a pain in the ass to find as well.

Sadly it looks like there are currently 2. But...

What should I be looking for as far as cross model and year compatibility? What fits in my '65? If I can open up my search options then maybe I can find what I am looking for easier.

Having the exact same issues right now. New battery, new rectifier, low charge while running.
As it happens I just picked up this neat book at a swap meet which has a section on testing the stator windings, as well as a shadetree fix. I haven't tried this yet, but figured it'd be useful to many. It is applicable to many hondas of the era.

Hei there . .
Since my cb77 1963 also has some charging issue . .

Does any buddy knows if it is possible to use a different kind of alternator
maybe from the cb350 for
example ?? or any other new Honda bike ??

Based on his other posts, it looks like he has a 65 Superhawk. Jeff.

That would require a (CB72) rotor and solves some of the charge problems. .............lm
