    Barely used Viet's Rearsets (universal)

    Selling a set of Viet's universal rearsets. This isn't the complete set as I'm keeping the rods. Otherwise, good to go. Only other thing missing as I look at the photo is one of the rubber toe peg covers. What you see in the photo is what I'm selling. Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with them...

    Thank you and Happy New Year!

    I lurch. I read. I browse and drool over images. I write, occasionally...but not enough. More importantly, I learn. Each morning I roll into work, open my email and also my browser. I sip on my coffee and check news and respond to quick-answer emails. I open three tabs on my browser: Yahoo...

    Suspension Questions

    I have a question for all you riders out there. My '73 CB450 project is progressing quite well. It's a long-term project and nothing I'm attempting to complete any time soon. It's my commuter bike, so my attempt is to keep the projects short so I can actually ride the thing. So far, so good. My...

    Kickstand for CB450?

    Seems like one thing always leads to the next! I'm working on attaching my rearsets on my '73 CB450 and started looking at the old footpegs. Leaning down to remove them I quickly noticed the left one is tied into the kickstand. Initial thought...cut that sucker off. However, I thought I would...

    Shifter Arm for my CB450

    Looking for a shifter arm for my 1973 CB450. Looks like an early CBR (e.g. 2007 or earlier) might work. To be more specific, I'm looking for the arm that attaches to the toothed transmission shift rod down near the engine. I've seen some generic ones online that might work too. I could cut down...

    CB450K6 Wrong Throttle Cable?

    Installed the new throttle cable off ebay (I know, sigh). Went on nice and smooth up until I needed to set the throttle cables so the stop screw touches its base again. I've got the cables turned all the way down to the darn bracket and don't have any more to give. The stop screw is still about...

    CB450K6 Negative Ground Too Big?

    Made some serious headway on the bike today. I successfully relocated the battery to fit under the rear of my cafe seat. Also moved the various electricals that were previously mounted to the old battery box. Seems like everything is wired back up OK but I'm having a starter problem now. I've...

    Old CB tank option for CB450 Cafe or go new fiberglass?

    I've browsed the Internet and salivated over all the cafe style tanks out there. Tons of fiberglass goodness just waiting for a potential buyer. However, I'm wondering if there are any thoughts to swapping out my original CB450K6 tank with another from an older or newer Honda. What are your...

    CB450K6 in Chattanooga

    Greetings from Chattanooga, TN! I've very recently delved into the Cafe Racer world with a 1973 CB450K6. First bike was a Suzuki Intruder back in the 90's then into a Harley FXST for the last roughly 10 years. I sold the Harley to my son in order to finance the building of a chopper (Redneck...
