Clear

Up for auction is a 1966 Honda CB77 Superhawk 305. I bought this bike locally 2 years ago and just finished a complete nut and bolt restoration. The bike was last titled in 1976 and sat in a shed for 35 years. A local guy in Lincoln convinced the owner to sell it, and he turned around and sold it to me. The license plates were from 1976, as was the NE park sticker on the front fork bottom. Frame VIN - CB77-1018969 Engine VIN - CB77E - 1018886 The following work was done: Engine - Complete overhaul performed at HVC Cycle in Lincoln. Cylinders were bored out and Wiseco 60.50 mm pistons installed, all 4 valve seats were grinded down. New O-rings, seals, bushings, and bearings. New engine mount bolts. New tachometer cable, throttle cable, and speedometer cable. Engine side covers were primed and painted. Carburators - Complete overhaul, rebuilt using Keyster carb kit, new idle jets. New air intake tubes, breather lines, fuel lines. Petcock was rebuilt with new seals, o-rings, screen, and NOS petcock bowl. Fuel tank is free of any rust and has a new fuel cap and rubber gasket. An NOS cork fuel cap gasket also comes with the bike. Transmission/ Clutch - Complete overhaul. New clutch plates and friction discs, springs, seals, and O-rings. New 14 mm bushing C installed. New clutch cable, clutch actuator arm, spring. New 32 tooth rear sprocket (the original sprocket comes with the brake and is in decent shape) and 530x96 rear drive chain. Frame/ body - All parts were bead blasted, primed, and painted to match Honda's original blue and silver color combination (DuPont Imron 63203 UH and 4504 OU).Centerstand and kickstand were painted black. Other parts were polished or plated appropriately. Re-chromed parts include the front fork seal holders, fork ribs, engine valley cover, exhaust pipe collar, fuel tank side panels, rear shock covers and mounting nuts. New AllBalls tapered stearing head bearings, front fork oil seals, All NOS rubber grips, foot pegs, throttle grip pipe, new gaskets and grommets. New flat handlebars. The seat that is on the bike is a reproduction seat. It is made of a quality vinyl material, and fits the seat mounts perfectly. An original Superhawk of this color would have had a blue seat with "Honda" in red on the back of the seat. I opted for this seat because I think it looks better than the red writing. HOWEVER, the original seat pan was bead blasted, primed and painted black. I also purchased a blue/ red seat cover and had a local upholstery shop install the cover over the original foam, which was in good shape. Both seats come with the bike. I will admit that the vinyl material of the blue/ red seat cover is not as nice in quality as the blue/ white seat. Electric - The wiring harness was removed and inspected. All connections were clipped and given new connectors. NOS left and right forward control switches, NOS rectifier, new battery, battery mat, NOS battery tie down strap, ground cable, bulbs all around, new sealed beam headlight, NOS brake sensor switch. The speedometer/ tachometer unit was sent to Foreign Speedo, Inc. in San Diego for re-conditioning and re-facing. It shows 17,684 miles and operates and looks like its brand new. Ignition - New points installed and timed, NGK spark plug wires and plugs, NOS condensor. The bike fires on either the touch of the button or a single kick. Wheels/ Brakes - Still has the original "DID" wheels, spokes, and spoke nipples. The wheels were trued and tires balanced at Brandl Cycle in Lincoln. New rim strips, tubes and tires; Front - Avon Roadrider 90/90 Rear - Avon Roadrider 100/90. New Vesrah front and rear brakes, brake springs, brake return springs, brake cam dust seals, and front and rear brake cables. The inside of the brake hubs look as good as the outside and the brakes operate as if they're brand new. New wheel bearings front and rear. Exhaust - These are the bike's original mufflers and exhaust pipes. They came with the bike, though the bike had a different set of aftermarket straight pipes on it when I got it. Im not sure how much use the original pipes got, because they were in great shape. NOS exhaust gaskets at the ports, NOS packing where the exhaust pipe meets the muffler, muffler diffusers, mounting hardware, I followed the Honda parts manual to ensure that all parts and hardware are in place. This bike runs as good as it looks. I will be posting a video link soon of the bike starting. I have put 62 miles on the bike since the restoration to work out any adjustments, etc. and may put a few more on going to and from work this week as the weather allows. Feel free to contact me if you want to stop by and see the bike. Otherwise, ask all questions before bidding. Clear NE title, registered as a NE historical motorcycle.
