Had a great ride on the Green Hornet up to Alice's restaurant in the Santa Cruz mountains yesterday. As usual, mostly modern bikes - BMWs, Ducatis, Japanese sport bikes, but a couple of cool, old bikes. One RD400 and a pair of Yamaha SRX600s. That bike still gets to me, too bad Americans just...

I'm in Half Moon Bay, I ride up to Alice's almost every week, week days usually. I like the idea of cutting a H4 bulb in, did you cut thru the glass back of an old sealed beam? The seat is custom made by Dan Gallagher at Gallagher Cycles. He can be reached thru www.hondatwins.net as dgallagher.

This summer I've just been racking up the miles on the cb, running great and a ton of fun. What headlight upgrades have folks done on the cb's over stock? Some are just using a new sealed 7", some cutting in a Hella h4 bulb. Any input? And where are the all the vintage bikes hanging out in the...

Great look on this scooter. I like the seat cover and the brake master cover, it's the little things that count...

Thank you gents, I wanted to go with a mostly stock look on this project as the OE tank and sidecovers were so nice. Just a lot of little styling cue changes that pulled it together. I gotta give a shout for the Charlie's Place electronic ignition kit, a bit pricey but very well done, improved...

Introducing the 'Green Hornet', my '72 cb450 resto-mod project. Currently up and running, and enjoying the Northern California sunshine. I bought it last year as a poor-running, one-family bike that just needed a few upgrades and modifications, as it was too nice to hack up completely. Parts...

Great looking build. Two questions for you - will the Hagon wide springs fit with the chain guard? Any luck getting those Mikunis to work right?

Thanks Durgam, looks like Shortround cut off the cb450 rear peg brackets altogether and fabbed up a new mounting point to the frame. Not a bad idea since 450 rearsets using the rear peg position are pretty far back...

Thanks!

Looking for the stock chrome unit, unbent. Thanks

Any sets for the cb450 available?
