SOLD

So much fun to ride and work on...and the scrambler pipes are SUCH a head turner. Hate to disappoint you but I think an 1100 is a bit too much bike for me haha. Appreciate the offer though. If you'd wanna buy, I'm willing to work with you on the price to make shipping work! It would be nice to...

1972 CL450K5 Location: Chicago area 12,XXX miles, third owner (to my knowledge). I bought it two years ago with 8,XXX on the clock. Clean title in hand. Listing it on here before Craigslist because I don't want her to go to some idiot who will spray paint the tank and put ape hangers on her and...

60 views and no input? Come on, is Chicago really this dead??

http://gentlemansride.com/?page_id=59 I noticed there isn't one organized for Chicago yet. Is there any interest in this? It's a cool idea and I think it would be a lot of fun. I'm new to the scene so I don't have the resources to be able to put together something like this, but I know a few of...

Anybody here ever go to Ton-Up Club events? They look pretty cool.

Anybody got one? I want to use a stock seat pan as a base for a low profile 2-up seat with a cafe-style shape. Looking for just the pan (preferably with hinges and latch still on, but flexible on this) or just a shitty torn up seat that you don't want. Let me know on here!

Rear fender shipped to 60563?

Rear fender shipped to 60563?

Thanks! I'm halfway through a valve adjustment on her, though unfortunately the smallest feeler gauge I was able to get was a .038mm (.0015") so I'm just adjusting them to be very snug on the gauge (spec is .03mm). Does anybody know if this is a problem? Seems like .008 of a millimeter wouldn't...

New chain was installed the other day! Let me tell you, the bike seems to ride WAY smoother now, especially at 40+ mph. I thought it was a placebo effect at first, but it's way too noticeable to be that. Now that I don't have to worry about that thing snapping, I've been able to push the bike a...

When I ran my wires through my drag bars I had the same problem when hitting my headlight switch. I had pinched one of the wires when tightening my controls back on, grounded the thing out. Opticz is right- you need to get a wiring diagram and multimeter and trace the short back to where it is...

She's getting a new drive chain today! No more of that old, stretched out nightmare that's on there now. Also gonna try to do some mild carb syncing. I noticed that one of the cylinders produces consistently higher exhaust pressure than the other, both at idle and partial throttle.

Also a ME/Physics major myself...fourth year though. What school? I'm sure a lot of guys on here may tell you the same thing I will...if this is your first bike, don't throw out the idea of going a little smaller than 750. I almost got one myself but CB750s are around 500lb bikes, and while...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RksyMaJiD8Y&feature=plcp Got pretty excited when I saw this on TV. It's extremely similar to my CL450, but the tank (and the rarity of the CL450) tells me it might be a CL350/360. Pretty cool!

One mirror is required in Illinois - right or left. http://www.lawtigers.com/law/illinois

Joe, I might take you up on that. I'd rather have a hand in it myself and do it in an hour than drop it off and pick it up days later from someone I don't know. You work at a shop? Where?

For the moment I'm just looking for a drive chain replacement, which I'm sure any shop will do. I know, I know, I could do it myself if I wanted to. But with something so vital to the bike's drivetrain I'd rather be safe, especially if I can get it done for a reasonable sum. I'd hate to mess...

New member here from Naperville with a 72 CL450, you can see my thread in Member Introductions. Hoping to make it out to a few meets this summer, but in the meantime there's a few things I need to do to make sure the bike is safe and reliable. Anybody got some good shop recommendations near me...

Thanks guys. It definitely looks cleaner in pictures than it really is (as most bikes/cars do) but it's not too far off. I'm sure I'll get flak for this from the purists, but there are some mods in store for the future...most notably a lower profile seat and taillight. Nothing too extreme...
