i just recently picked up this 1967 cb450k0 and also just acquired a cl175 tank for it from salvage, Im not too big into posting and taking pics of builds but if you guys recognize, I may shoot some photos up every now and then.  I dont know what I want to do for a seat yet. so DWMS rules by the way..

Thank you for the DWMS rules comment Brother, your support really means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated! Your 450 looks cool man, I would love to see more photos of it!

Beautiful build! Where did you get the manifolds to run Mikunis? I think the hole to hole spacing on the intake manifolds for the CB450 was an odd size (64-65mm)..

I bought them as a kit from the Power-Barn. It included everything need for their installation. Greta guys to work with!

Hey boss! Did the Mikunis/Velocity stacks fit under the side covers on the bike? My carburetors are dead...I will be converting to VM32's by the end of the week.

Isn't there a build thread for this bike? I thought there was, need to see how it's coming.....

[Habanero52]

nobrakese28: I do not know since the engine is not yet on the bike, nor do I plan to use side covers. I speculate that these velocity stacks will interfere with the covers based on their size.

Swagger: Unfortunately as of this moment, there is no thread. I plan to start one soon. I have had to put the project on hold due to priorities that have taken over. The bike is totally stripped down to the frame and that is what we will start  the thread with. I promise you that I will have the thread stared by next week.

Thank you all for showing interest in this project of mine. I hope that i can live to all of your expectations. This is the first of many builds that I have planned.

Take care and stay tunned.

Life has a way of derailing our best laid plans...hang in chief. It'll happen.....
