I have a 1982 cb450sc that I am looking to hardtail. I don't have the means to do this myself. I just want to find a shop that does good work for a decent price. Need it hardtailed which will probably involve replacing the stamped backbone. Anyone have any good recommendations? Would love...

Damn I cant find floats anywhere i am afraid to get any on ebay since they are used and could easily be in the same boat as mine. I did see the 400m floats are black with the metal inserts they look similar. Hopefully someone has had this problem and can chime in on how they fixed it Sent...

need to find new floats... these things are way off and it says you cant adjust these plastics ones :( anybody know where to get some new ones or brass ones?

its an 82 as well :) but yeah I bought pods and I am just gonna spend the time changing all the jets and shimming needles to get it to run right. I am hard mounting the seat now and it will hump back over the fender for the girlfriend :( haha but it just means I will be able to ride more. We...

well I have been pretty busy, but I have been trying to make time for the bike. I have bought a lot of stuff and starting to degrease the engine and get it ready for paint. Holy cow is it hard to degrease with all these fins and hard to reach places. Also ultrasonically cleaned and soda...

that color with the diamond stitching would be sick. i love that like grime green going on there

Well I have tons of stuff in the mail. Lots to do this next couple weeks! After this the engine should be ready waiting on a stand and then its onto the frame starting at the front and working back. One question though, Should I get a Crankcase Breather that is push on and attach it right on...

This build is looking fantastic! I might be stealing a couple of your ideas for my build haha. what did you paint that engine with and what did you paint the frame, wheels, small parts with.

Hmmm wondering if the keyster kit will fit I emailed them about it. It says 83-86 it looks exactly the same the only difference i see in the labeled parts is their main jet is a #120 mine is a #115. The part number is KH-1232N Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2

any body have any opinions on carb kits? Keyster? another option is a set from usa-motorcycles-inc on ebay. Theirs seems really complete. Maybe its because the keysters only show the cardboard box in their pictures are they just as full?
