Re: my ghetto ass winter redo 73' CL450
since i havent done shit in a few days and im kinda bumming, I thought id post what im missing and dont have the funds for and what i need to finish the build (not that im near completion).
LIST I NEED:
1) Figure out what battery to use and buy that will fit nicely in my tail section.
Choices - Westco 12V4L-B $33.95, Westco 12VX5L-B $36.95, Westco YT9B $63.95, or Big crank ETX9 $54.95 i think they
all meet my needs but size matters
2) front brake light stop switch (slides in brake lever)
3) right hand controls/brake lever, starter, dimmer, Kill
4) Tires/rims - unmount, mount and balance with new tubes and strips $70.00
5) O ring chain $55.00
6) seat pad
thats all i can think of right now, everything else is labor i think, :-\

Re: my ghetto ass winter redo 73' CL450
Looks great Derek, I have a lil tidbit of advice on the rear of the frame I would suggest you do. Im hoping its not too late. In the rear I would weld either a bar across the back of 2 frame ends(in red) or a plate across the 2(in blue) for better support and less flex.
Keep up the great work....more than Im doing on my bike.

Re: my ghetto ass winter redo 73' CL450
I have a plate welded there, but im afraid its not enough. I cant go any farther back on the frame because the exhuast runs through there. ive been having a hell of a time finding 180* bent tubing that small and thick enough. after the battery is situated im gonna try and beef it up some more. Thanks
This is the beginnings of my battery location, it also caps off the rear tail above the exhaust. I want to have my buddy bend me 1" tubing to fit on top of the flat stock that is welded on now but hes expensive as hell.

Re: my ghetto ass winter redo 73' CL450
this is awesome. ive always wanted to make a central exhaust setup 2into 1 reverse small cone muff out the back of the cowl, but i dont have the know how do even begin that kind of project. props to you, looks like shes coming along. i would kill to have a nicely lit and heated area to work on my horse.

Re: my ghetto ass winter redo 73' CL450
velocity stacks polished up nice
these perches had a nub on the top for screw on mirrors and it was ugly also i wasnt going to use them so i welded the hole closed and ground them down smooth, well i guess it was a bad idea
still awaiting 1" 90* bent tubing for the tail, anyone know where to get this?
