I like the web-site lots of nice cars. Somebody has far too much time on his hands, it must have taken him hours to put that lot together.

Checked out the rear shock covers, Black. I hate to bring uk the question of the spark plug caps but they look like bakelite.

Fret not, fellow F1 brother! Leave it as it is; change nothing unless you dislike it. Just add your own personalisations. The plug caps are modern NGK-types; they're on eBay in black too, but I like the red. They're probably not Bakelite, per se, but they'd need to be some type of epoxy-ceramic mix -- but who am I to tell you that?!
The rear shocks would've been from an originally-black model, btw.

I love the bike in candy red I will change nothing. Maybe put some Electronic Ignition on it and the rear wheel may need a rebuild as its running about 3mm out of true.

That rear wheel looks a bit suspect to me. The rim doesn't look like it belongs to the hub as the spokes are bending as they exit the nipple . If you get it rebuilt I would get the wheelbuilder to check the angle of the drillings in the rim.

Re: My new CB77
Jonty, can you tell us the year on the wiring harness tag (under the tank), for the database that I'm collating, please? I'm putting together a year-of-manufacture list -- not registration -- for '65-'67 CBs. It will help to fill in some blanks in Bill's and Honda's production records.Jonty wrote: The Engine no is CB77E1043961, and the frame CB771043961.
TIA; hope it still looks as good!
