Need help identifing model of CB77

[jeffliner]

I recently aquired a CB77 Superhawk. The title could not be found. Which serial number would it have been registered under, the one on the fork or the one on the engine? Would the entire number have been used including the CB77 or just the numbers after the CB77- ? The bike was bought new by the person I got it from. I need to get a new title but no records come up. Any suggestions???

Welcome!

It could have been either number. I had an old registration and it was the motor number, I assume it was easer to find so this is what was used. I would think the frame number is what should be used. I don't know where you are, but in Wisconsin they don't keep registrations past about 5 years if they are not renewed.

What part of the world are you from? It helps to put this information in your profile. We have people from parts of the world here and some of your questions can be better answered if you put this info in.

Both numbers are generally on the title. CB77- xxxxxxx for frame, and CB77E-xxxxxxx for engine. If you post the numbers here, we can tell you what year the bike is. You can substitute xx for the last 2 numbers if you're worried about it.

The frame number is CB77-10149XX and the enging number is CB77E-10150XX The engine number is within 35 digits of the frame number. My brother was the original owner and he purchased it new in E#ast Tennessee. It was last ran in 1972 or 73 when it parked in his basement. Has not been ran since. The motor is stuck right now. Trying to free it up to see what kind of condition it is in.

The throttle cable is broken so you can't twist the throttle, one of the spokes is broken on the rear wheel, right side, side cover is missing, emblems missing off both sides of the tank. It appears everything else is there, and mostly in working order.

Where do I start?

Dave,

That is definitely not the case here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Frame # is usually the one listed.

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.

TIA and good luck with the title!
