I had a talk with her today on the way home from school and rather than hearing a goody she made it clear that she wasn't riding any motorcycles so we'll see. I won't force it on her but will get out my little 350 Four and talk her into a quick ride around the neighborhood. I would rather she...

Maritime: It's not in my nature but I can be polite!

Thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of harnesses and will be looking into that. I still haven't decided for sure if I want to take the risk of having a kid on board but in case I do the information I'm receiving will certainly help. I should probablyn check the laws for my state also...

I agree, being retired I usually ride during work hours and stick to urban areas anyway and have some kid friendly routes all set. I have plenty of family to watch her for those days when a long cruise is the best medicine. Any suggestions for riding apparel for children? Feels odd being a...

I was just given custody of my 6 year old granddaughter and was wondering if she is old enough to ride with me once it warms up? I would place her in front of me with a good helmet and riding clothes of course. Moderator: Maybe I placed this in the wrong forum section, please feel free to move...

Agreed, very nice looking bike and of the CL450 year not often seen.

My seat came with a worn out aftermarket cover so I wasn't able to use it as a guild and my question is..........was there a cover design change sometime during the model year.....say.....between bike #1000001 and 1001800? I bought an aftermarket one with the correct texture, piping and seam...

No more responders........how disappointing. There must be at least one more obsessive compulsive restorer here besides me. .....................I have another bike item that I forgot to mention. 33741-077-671 FRONT REFLEX REFLECTOR ASSEMBLY My 68 CL450 doesn't have this because it wasn't added...

My bike with the very early gauges differing from the later ones by having the speedo on the right rather than the left side like most bikes. As ratty as the bike looked when I picked it up, had someone with too much time on their hands not broken the lenses out they might have been usable. I...

Thanks, I will check them out.

Anyone know of an authority that might be able to answer questions that the parts list doesn't on this bike. Mine being an early VIN has several parts that were changed mid production with some reflected in the on-line fiche or first parts manual and some not mentioned. For instance the front...

Re: 1971 CB750 K1 Rider Resto Well, I have no significant other to say no and the result is the first floor of my house including the kitchen and bathroom being full of bikes and parts. I have 2 CL125A's on the second floor that will be floor ornaments once they are finished. I think I paid...

Re: 1971 CB750 K1 Rider Resto Are you going with the original HM300 exhaust, it makes a difference. My 71 CB750 came from a guy in Minnesota and he pulled a fast one by switching the HM341 for the HM300 and then tried to convince me that the 341's are OEM when I noticed the issue several months...

Thanks, I will do that.

I have been looking for a Helmet Keeper #53126-292-670 for quite some time with no luck. I have the one that came with the bike but like most, corrosion has penetrated the chrome requiring re-chroming. I have found that most collectors discard this piece for some reason but being a bit obsessive...

I just answered my own question about the headlight by looking at the first official CL450 parts manual. The manual has the standard light with the separate replaceable bulb beginning with the first CL450A's but doesn't say at what frame number it was replaced by the sealed beam.

For the last almost 2 years I have been gathering new and good used parts for a restoration project on my CL450. I have spent countless hours cross-referencing part numbers to other models to help in acquiring these parts and have come across some interesting information from time to time. The...

As delivered in February, 2012 and a ratty mess but the plus is the valid title which is somewhat rare on a bike this old and neglected. It sat outside for years and had rodent nests in the battery box, seat and even in the exhaust mufflers. I now have boxes of new parts and will soon have a set...

Even though the 69 and 68 are basically the same I still want a 69 to park next to my soon to be restored 68, it would make for a nice picture or two also.

The engine would be a good candidate for a cut-away display. If you are seriously considering bringing it back to original condition then like SONIC. said first get the VIN checked out. You wouldn't want to restore it for the original owner in case it was stolen.
