I love the cut on the front of that fender! Good job! 8)

'72 CB450 (my bad, I thought that was in there. ::) )

Where to get pistons? I need a set of STOCK pistons and rings, preferably for less than a hundred dollars, but hey, I need 'em, so I'll pay out the ass if I have to. I need the stock pistons, not bored over, which is what I mostly find.

It's a Buell, XB9?

Wow, what a nice first post. >:(

Good to hear! Once I get my 450 going again, that'll be one of the first things I do.

That thing is gorgeous! I really like the drilled levers, looks very cool. 8) PS: What was your first impression of those shocks?

May as well, I have a honing tool, and I doubt rings are too pricey.

Thanks for all the info, I'll probably just get an OEM one, but either way, I may as well go ahead and start tearing it down. I'll probably go ahead and replace the base gasket while I'm at it too.

Does anybody know of a good aftermarket head gasket for a '72 Honda CB450? Mine blew out on me today going down the highway and I was wondering if there were any good modern ones seeing as how gasket materials and stuff has come a long way in 40 years.

What time? Could be, I was up there around 11:45-12:00'ish. Silver full face helmet? Black and silver mesh jacket?

Looks nice dude, can't wait to see how those shocks work out, I'm thinking about getting some of those off the Bay for my Honda!

In a year or two I'd say a Kawasaki Versys, it's up there with the Bandit in the "Bang for the Buck" department. It's a little too new in the US to be able to get one as low as 3K, but easily 4.5K, so in a year or two... 8)

Honda NT650, Honda SuperHawk.

Lots of cool stuff! Welcome! I'm sure you're a regular at the KC Vintage Motorcycle show eh? ;D
