Finally have my first crash under my belt. My 1971 CL450 and I took a trip into ditch, which to my surprise was home to 1 million ants. Since everyone will ask I have to fess up to my shame. The reason I crashed is because I didn't put up my kick stand. As it so happens left hand turns are hard...

I've got a '71 Honda CB450. When I bought a new 12V gel battery I decided to updgrade the reg/rec to the Rick's Motorsports unit. Everything seemed to be running better. A few weeks ago I noticed the light in my speedometer was out on a night ride. I didn't think too much of it. Today I'm on my...

I was having trouble with blowing fuses after changing out my stock handlebars on my '71 CL450. I Replaced the left control perch and flasher relay, as it blew every times I turned on my left blinker. That seemed to fix the problem. I decided to upgrade my charging system and get a new...

So, on Friday I changed out my high CL450 handlebars to a more reasonable supermoto bar. Since it was originally stock, I had to take out all the wiring, disconnect it behind the headlight, and set it all back up afterwards. It took me several hours, but I got the new bars on and all the...

I would like to sync my CL450 carbs, and plan on installing these ports from DCC. I was just checking in over here to see if anyone had any advice about installation...

On my Honda CL450 the shifter is rubbing right up about the left crankcase, leaving gouges. I had a local mechanic "tune-up" my bike, and he said he did something to the shifter. Now it appear to be leaking oil from the shifter, dripping off the bolt that holds in on. I was loosening it to see...

I've been reading over the manual for for my CL 450, and was curious if anyone could shed some light on this graph. I understand the straight lines of 1st, 2nd, etc. show the particular speed/rpm while staying in just that gear. I have no idea what the 3%-60% lines mean. Something I'm really...

I bought my first bike, a 1971 CL450. I brought it to a local mechanic who stated he worked in the Honda shop here in the 70's assembling these bikes, and would tune it up for me. He called and said it was all ready. I go with a friend of mine to ride it home, and notice it's idling a little...
