At least I think it's a CA95! They look factory... might it be a C95?

Those look like the 70's style signals like those on my 1970 CB350 - possibly someone installed later? I thought the originals (at least the front) were rectangular?

No, they are not factory. Probably from a 70's CB or even another asian brand. The originals had retangle lenses where the "Honda" plate is on your rear fender trim. The wire hooks underneath the fender both right and left.

The front signals were retangle as well and mounted on the handlebar.

That's why I hang my retro's on the handlebar. Most of the modern bikes have front turn signals on the handlebars.

Further to what Chip has said about the turn signals (mucho correcto) the easy way to spot the difference is, on the CA there is an elongated hole in the centre of the crankcase, you can see it in the sellers 3rd picture, It's just behind the cylinders. The C95 dose not have this as it is only a 2 bearing crank. The other way to tell them apart is the carb, the CA has power jets that are visible on the right hand side of the carb.
The early CA has a rev counter gearbox which runs off the camshaft on the right side of the head, easy to spot.

Notice no hole in the top of the crankcase behind the block and see the turn signals as Chip said.

Look at the strange cam covers on this one, I have one of the chain side but have never seen the type fitted to the right side of this one.

Do you think you'll be able to tell them apart now Aaron?

Here is an example of the CA95 turn signals not usually found in the USA. These signals are for years 1964-1966 that have the long fender trim.
