Send me an email with your email address and I'll pass along the manual. I'm pretty sure I have a .pdf saved somewhere. My address is justin_mathews@hotmail.com

Yep, that won't work out, appreciate the thought though.

I'm in RI, where's your buddy live?

Looking for an engine or frame with title, thinking a 1984, 1985, or 1986 would all be compatible.

I know this post is old, just wondering if you still have any of these parts. I'm looking for a ride side cover for an 82 cb450t. Let me know. Thanks!

Re: 1982 CB450t budget build - Misfire, why??? Well a buddy helped me drag the bike out of the basement and into the daylight. Got it up and running on Sunday with the POS mufflers that were on the bike when I bought it. I need to get some new mufflers, maybe some shortys or sportster...

Re: 1982 CB450t budget build - Shorty mufflers??? Also the exhaust on there now came from the previous owner, its a chopped and welded back together KZ440 muffler. Thinking about getting the 12" Shorty mufflers from DCC, they seem to be the least expensive pipe I can find. Anyone have any...

Pics and updates: Got the chain back on. Cleaned up the headers and threw those back on as well. Cleaned the carburetor and semi-polished the covers and float bowls then reassembled and put back on the bike. I guess it would be more accurate to say that I wrestled it back into the bike, what...

Re: 1982 CB450t budget build - Need help identifying this... So it appears that the master cylinder on the bike is not stock as the rebuild kit I bought doesn't work. Does anyone recognize this master cylinder and know what type of bike it might be from. Hoping to buy the proper rebuild...

Thanks fresh_c! I actually picked up some ultra grey today after checking out everything that Autozone had, didn't want to use it though til I got some feedback from the folks on here. Wouldn't have had a chance today anyway as I spent the day at Brit Jam, motorcycle show in Connecticut put on...

The manual calls for using liquid sealant on the bottom of the rocker arm setup where it mates with the cylinder head, any recommendations on what type of liquid sealant to use???

Started putting the engine back together... Valves lapped and installed Pistons on Cylinders and timing chain tensioner installed, was good to have an extra set of hands to help with the reassembly. Cylinder head on and camshaft in
