The rear frame loop isn't typical of the 74 CCM so as well as the motor being post 75 I think the frame is too.

I don't know my CCM history but did they ever make a frame for the Yam motor?

Looks 74 frame to me.  It never left the factory like that.  Look at the front engien mount.  Yuuurrrkkk.  No CCM ever looked like that.  Painted silver as well by the looks of it.  I dont think so!

Mike Eatough made the first CCM frames and when when went to do his own thing, made a made a batch of frames for the TT500 when ithe 500 motor first appeared.  The batch was made for Spence in Ireland.  Very special bikes in their Day (I had one)

To my knowledge the CCM Factory didnt ever build a bike with an XT/TT lump.

Nice enough bike and lots of fun I am sure.
