Um I think I may have worded that wrong. Not hardtail. I would remove the springs only to make the mold for the seat pant to accommodate if/when the wheel travels to far up it won't bottom out on the seat pan. Springs would definitely be going back on afterwards. Sent from my SM-G928V using...

Re: 71 CB450 Build. This is a pic of the bike with stock 18" wheel and stock shocks. Figure if I go 1" over on the shocks and a 17" wheel I will minimize how much the wheel will travel past the frame rails on a hard bump. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

Why not swap all the parts from the black one to the blue frame? Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

New guy here. Just picked up a 1971 Honda CB 450. Got plans to do a street tracker build on it. Have been browsing the forums soaking up info that is relevant to my bike. Picked up the bike for $250, PO dropped it riding around his Lake house. Forks are bent but the frame still looks straight...
