So we picked up this CB450 over the weekend. The plan is to refurbish the electrics and get her running properly. The previous owned complained about a possible fueling issue, so we'll take a look at that, too.
First step is to strip the old electrics and replace them all with new parts.
The old separate rectifier and regulator have been replaced with a Sparck Moto unit.
We're also in the process of working on Honda 450 harness recreations, so a sample harness is replacing the old crusty one. Unfortunately, our manufacturer didn't have all of the OEM colors available (yet) and so they substituted white for almost everything! Good thing we know our way around a multimeter.
Finally, the old coils looked like they were approaching the end of their natural lifespan and so a new set of specially made 4.0Ω coils are going on in place. We're expecting to have these ready for sale late in the summer (or maybe mid-autumn) if they perform well.
