Not sure if this is really the appropriate place to put this. I've been away from the site for quite awhile. Anyways I was just wondering how much trouble it is to swap out the gearshift spindle on a 1974 CB 450. Mine is pretty much F.U.B.A.R. The splines are gone. I did some digging on the...

Here she is. and man is she rough but I'm ready for the challenge. Plans are to build a basic cafe racer. Its a work in progress in my mind. I'll keep you all updated as I find out more. Money's tight and I work weird hours so this is going to be a long build.

My cousin has an old 76 CB750 in his garage that hasn't ran since 1998. It ran when he parked it. The reason he quit riding it was the clutch was going out of it and he didn't have the money to replace it and lost interest. Well we decided to take it out and tinker with it the other day and...

Well upon tearing into my carburetors on my 74 CB450 I've come to the realization that the needles are not adjustable on the Keihin Carbs. What can I do about this? the needle bumps all the way against a seat so adding washers won't raise it. Anyone figured out how to richen the mid range on...

I'm having trouble with my 74 CB 450 after the engine rebuild. For some reason I can't get the bike to DTT. Wide open throttle in top gear won't go over 80mph. I've had the bike up to 105 before so I know the bike can do it. The timing is dead on correct and the carbs are pretty close to...

My 74 CB 450 is having some trouble when it comes to riding in town. It seems that any speed less than 35 will pop and foul out on the right side no matter what gear i'm in. Sitting in neutral at idle the mixture is correct. plugs look good. and running down the highway the bike also runs...

Well After putting 175 miles on a Freshly Rebuild CB450 Engine bored out to 483CC. I've noticed no matter how much I adjust my Carburetors I have to readjust after about 10 miles. I'll get it adjusted to where it Idles properly and runs well for a couple miles pull the plugs and they will look...

Well this is my 74 CB450 I bought the bike for $75 and restored it to mostly Original condition. I didn't care too much for the way the bike rode so i customized a few things and punched the engine out 3mm. This is how she sits currently. I'm wanting to lower the back end of the bike a...

I have a 1974 CB450 that I'm in the Process of doing some mild Modifications to. I don't know if I would Consider it to be a true Chopper but you be the Judge I can post pictures later. Anyways I have the front forks extended by 6 Inches and I want to Lower the Rear end by a good 2-3 inches...

I have a 1974 Honda CB450 that has been bored out by 3mm. from a 70 to a 73mm piston. That ups the displacement from 444cc to roughly 484 if my math is correct. My question is What should I do about Carburetors. Do I need to put a bigger Carburetor on it or can i get by with Jetting. Also...
