Honda CL77 Scrambler project
- Thread starter willis
- Start date
I’ve got a line on a good affordable powder coater. I haven’t been pleased with the local guy I’ve used in the past. I would have just painted it but weather here has turned to fall and temp aren’t great for painting. Nor am I in any position to attempt in my new garage. I also picked up a used set of Koni shocks I think I can make fit. I got them about a week ago so they went straight to the storage bin for the move. They need some love, but parts are available for them.
A sneak peak at the forks I’m planning.
Also been eyeballing these. I’m not 100% how much I like them, but they are pretty cool. The lever perches are welded on smoothe. Thinking maybe these or a set of Webco’s.

Just a little teaser. Almost made it home for the holiday, but still waiting on a few more parts. Should be here by Christmas.
Nothing else to update. Still trying to get my workshop together after the move.

You realize that engine ups the standard the rest of the bike has to live up to, right?
Gorgeous!!
Ya I know. I told the builder the same thing. I an am a little bummed that the motor looks so nice but still has a broken fin on the cylinder. I’ve got a line on a reasonable powder coater. I’m leaning towards a satin black frame.
Maybe it will be worthy of a fancy paint job by you Jim? We will see how far down the rabbit hole I go. Right now I’m just dipping my toes in.
In my mind, a 305 Scrambler needs a red frame, and silver engine and tank... the end.
But then, I just paint.
We all have our own opinion on what "beauty" is. And rightly so. You be you, Rob.
I know mine had a silver tank, but I don't recall the frame being red. Then again, it was 53 years ago, so...In my mind, a 305 Scrambler needs a red frame, and silver engine and tank... the end.

All had the silver tank and iirc, the frame came in red, blue and black.

Hi Willis, enjoyed your postings. I learned yesterday that a gentlemen in bad health wants to give me his CL77 (in a basket). Motor does not turn over. Wondering if you were able to source anyone that carries engine and or other parts. Seems that the 60's hondas are hard to find parts for. I am currently completing a two Sl350's K0 and K2
I haven’t really looked beyond EBay. This project is somewhat idle right now as I don’t have a functioning workshop at the moment. I was fortunate to have a friends brother offer to rebuild the motor for me. It it’s about finished and hope to have possession in a few weeks. He has rebuilt several cb/cl77 motors in the past. I can ask where he sources parts. My spare motor came in very handy as we utilized the best parts off each motor.
Let Google be your friend. Search Honda CL77/CB77 parts. As I remember, there is a guy in Ohio that has lots of new and used parts that I used for my Superhawk restore.
Is this possibly who you are referring to? Read about the place on an old ADV forum post.

Yes, that's it. Huge inventory.
There's also another one I used, mostly new repo parts. I gave all my receipts to the guy who bought my Superhawk.
