Something I ran into that took me FOREVER to track down was a broken kill switch wire. So the circuit was always open. So the bike just wouldn't turn over. Might not be anything like what you are seeing, but might be something to check.

The gold paint inspired my new paint job (powder coat actually) on my non project bike. I'm doing a new Triumph Thruxton in gold and red. Custom insignia on the tank. Going to cal him the English Lion. Pics will be up when it is all finished up.

Hey all,
My CB450 battery decided to stop holding a charge, so I'm in the market for a new one. I've seen other people talk about smaller batteries, moving electronics, replacing with Lithium Ion/Polymer/whathaveyou. Does anyone have suggestions on this front? Stories? Methods?
I've...
Hi All,
I'm a little late to this discussion, I know, but it is pertinent to a current project. I love the look Joe achieved on several of those wheel set ups. I'm looking to do an all up gold set. Gold spokes do not exist. I can get the nipples in gold close enough to the powder coat...
Right on. We've been discussing it and we are thinking of going all out on the original styling. Maybe go Buck Rodgers or Original BSG with the paint job. The hard part is going to be finding a tank for it, as at this point I'm rather sure this one is not sound to hold gas.
Yeah. It is definitely not a pretty bike. I think replacing the tank might be a good first step really. The frame is set up strangely, so it is going to be a pain to straighten her out. I think we might make her into a bobber of sorts though.
One of my buddies found a 'free' bike and I have decided to help him restore it. I'll likely be asking a bunch of questions as I'm still rather new to all this and she is a bit different from my CB450k7, but it will be awesome to have another friend up on two. Here she is as of yesterday...
Hi All!
I am very excited to be back up on 2 wheels and able to do fun things like mod my bike. I'll be setting her up cafe style as I can. First step is a set of rear sets. The previous owner put on some clubman bars and my arms and legs are fighting for space with the standard pegs. I...
Hey Viet! I have been looking to get a set of rearsets and these look perfect. Do you have the measurements for a full set for a 74 CB450 or should I measure things out and send you the required lengths and angles? They look awesome!
Thanks,
Balek
