Hey everyone, here she is, my first build! A $300 junkyard find, 1971 honda cl450k4. Had the bike since september of 2010, worked on her til i ran out of money, then got my tax return and have started the project up again! Sorry about the poor picture quality, it was taken with a cell phone and then the file was converted so that i could upload it. More pics to come !!

Re: Junkyard Buy 71 cl450 "Moses"

jrknecht, I am going to do what i can with this tank first, I got a tip from a mechanic friend on how to get the rust out of the tank. But i am not so sure what a body shop can do with that dent :s

that way i dont have to make everyone use the links

Reviving my ancient thread.

After completely disassembling, stripping paint and collecting parts, I am pleased to say that my bike is coming along nicely. While a complete tear down and build is time consuming and costly, this old junkyard bike is coming to life.

Updates will be following.
 
Here are a couple updated pictures

I apologize that I am missing huge amounts of the work ive done to this bike in terms of pictures. Forgive me if id rather work than snap pictures.

Long story short I bought this in a junkyard for 300 dollars in 2011. I have periodically worked on this bike since then. I did a complete disassemble and now I have everything repainted and ready to assemble.
 
I started a new thread for this bike. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=67693.msg780387#msg780387
Mods can delete this if i can't figure it out
