1963 Honda Super Hawk

Rebuilt, Rebuildable & Reconstructed

The conjoined twins have been separated... only the 1963 CB77 remains for sale. 1963 CB77The story: 1963 CB77 chassis and engine combo has undergone extensive restoration, including new powdercoating, painting of fenders and fuel tank. $1200 spent on cosmetics alone. Purchased w/o title for $150 last month. Will be sold on bill of sale only.CB77-317982 frame CB77E-317940 engine The original engine (with U-shaped front fin pattern on the head) was disassembled and rebuilt with X'd transmission, offset cotters, new low gear bushing, new seals, NOS primary chain (rare $100+ part alone), cylinders bored to 1.00 o/s with new rings, Valve seats re-cut and valves lapped in, nice tight camsprocket, great camshafts and rocker arms. New camchain, new camchain guide roller and good used camchain tensioners were used in the rebuilt. $200 value. An NOS oil filter outer cover ($60) was installed on a good used "big hole" clutch cover for easier servicing of the oil filter. Complete engine screw kit was installed ($40) Engine rebuild value is minimally $1,000. MORE NEW PARTS: Rebuilt round bowl carburetors with new o-rings on flanges and insulators. NOS point plate/condenser combo ($75), Rare NOS 18" Bando WW tires and tubes. $150 value Beautiful OEM $300 used fender set have had small dents removed and were painted metallic silver. Unfortunately, the front fender got a couple of dents/scrapes from the engine installation. Good OEM rims, front and rear, with new a/m $60 brake shoes (per wheel) on both wheels. Correct "reverse-needle" speedo drive is attached to the front wheel hub. Speedo is out at Foreign Speedo for $200 repairs, but they are about 4-6 weeks behind in deliveries. NOTE: If the bike does not sell for the BIN price the rebuilt speedometer will NOT be included in the deal. I will let the buyer take over the meter project and pick it up from them. Powdercoating bill was $625 alone. All new a/m cables(front/rear brake, clutch and throttle) from Retrobikes, as well as a set of their nice repro flat bars. I ordered some a/m headers from Thailand, but they don't fit, so put on a set of very used ones, just to fire the bike up. New headers and mufflers will be needed for street use. The bike was received mostly disassembled, painted an odd pale blue color that was not on the OEM color palette. Interestingly, the engine number is lower than the frame number, which is unusual as most bikes show up with the opposite number combos. Somehow, the whole front end of the bike appears to have been taken from a 1961-2 CB72-77 model, minus the loop style fork bridge. It has the "fat" 38mm fork tubes/steering stem and all of the matching fork covers. New fork seals have been installed in good used fork seal holders. The fork cover trim pieces are 1961/62-specific for the large fork diameters, but are pitted and have some slight damage. Rear upper shock covers are metal and powdercoated to match the chassis. There is a spare set of air filter side covers included. The gas tank side covers are in fair condition with some rust pitting. No tank badges are included. I have a rebuilt petcock that was installed along with an original stainless steel gas cap. A very solid tool box was purchased, along with a good starter solenoid. $45 A good used 1965 CB72-coded OEM wiring harness is installed with a good used OEM ignition switch. Electrical systems are up and working, except for the need to ground the headlight shell lighting items. The powdercoating insulated the fork ears and shell from the rest of the chassis ground. There are two used tail light brackets included. One has had one ear re-welded and the other one has had an additional metal strap brazed to the existing ears for additional strength. A new a/m tail light will be included. The headlight rim is near mint condition. The frame was re-welded where the centerstand holes were worn into an oval shape. A very nice kickstarter cover has been installed now, with a new clutch adjuster $40. Welding/machine shop repairs to the chassis were $140. NOS centerstand pivot bolts were used on a solid, straight centerstand arm. The kickstarter arm is used and has fair chrome plating with some wear spots. The shift lever is an NOS OEM early style part with the curved tip (vs. welded-on style), another $75 part. A new, correct Yuasa 12N9-3A battery $55 is installed and all the battery hold-down hardware and cushions are present. Handlebar switches have been repaired. NOS a/m rectifier installed $40 Over $3000 has been spent to date, just in parts and services, not counting my labor to rebuild the engine, chase parts and services and begin the reassembly process. Upcoming knee surgery is a possibility, so funds must be gathered up and inventory cleared out. I’ve done all the hard stuff, already. Now it is your turn to build the CB77 Super Hawk of your dreams. I have a plastic tub containing quite a few CB77-specific spare parts, which will be included in this auction/sale at a full price sale. This will be MrHonda's last Super Hawk project... The bike was fired up on May 24th (my birthday) and sounds great, but loud due to lack of mufflers. Shifts through all 4 gears and should be a good runner out on the road.On Jun-03-14 at 11:54:14 PDT, seller added the following information: I am inquiring about the legal status of this bike through the DMV system today. I'm pretty sure that there is no record of it, but I will find out for sure. I did find a used left side knee pad for the tank cover. Speedometer is in the queue at Foreign Speedo and they will try to move it up a few notches for me. I don't have any mirrors for it, but they are commonly found on eBay or from your Honda dealer. You DO have to bend the end stalks though for flat bar installs. Still needed for full function are: correct seat, mufflers (headers are rusty, but there), chain guard, inner chain cover that attaches to the k/s cover at the back, air filters/tubes (I do have a set of brackets) and a set of sidecover knobs (Retrobikes). Tires are more ornamental than for serious riding... pre date-code items, made back in the early 1960s. Auction closes tonight! LOTS OF LOOKERS and WATCHERS.... :Let's see some bids now! BIN buyers get a bonus box of used CB77 parts worth hundreds of dollars, and the Restoration Guide CD/Download package for Super Hawks.. $69.95 value.On Jun-03-14 at 16:30:35 PDT, seller added the following information: Final updates before end of auction..... A 2.5 hour visit to the local DMV office yielded a small stack of papers in my name. It needs to be CHP verified, I need a bill of sale from previous owner and they wanted to see some invoices on the parts I used on the bike. I asked for title only, but they ran all the projected costs, including registration for the street out to $119. It will be less than that, once I get the inspection done and supply them with pieces of paper that will make them happy... The VIN came back as "no record" in CA DMV computers, as I expected. Continuing the current title only process will take a couple of weeks and then I can hand over a CA clean title in my name. California buyers could also take this paperwork forward for transfer and registration or wait until completion on my end. BID NOW!
