Today is what is known as 2'fers.. 2 parts came in. The right sized, 33mm clip ons and ... my LONG awaited seat. My first impression on the seat is that it isn't as cool as I thought it would be. But it's growing on me. The seat was bought from cb750parts.com and fits well. the only...

Thanks for the advice. I will try a screw extractor as there isn't much left of the screw. Also, I appreciate the words of encouragement. Right now, the most difficult thing is telling myself "YOU WILL be able to put it back together. For some reason, It doesn't feel like I can. But I...

Thanks. I am only home 3 days a week so I have SO little time to catch up on so much. HOPEFULLY tomorrow I could get the everything off the frame and go to the powdercoaters. Thinking I'll Powdercoat the frame Antique white and then the Spokes/Rims will be black. the tank, seat and...

WOW! It's been a while. Work got the best of me. I am back though and tearing things apart. Going to keep the exhuast in tact and sell it online! Thanks for the suggestion! My new issue is the clip-ons. I read that 35mm was the standard size and I bought some online but now am confused. I...

Ken,I could get it covered. My issue was the fiberglass came out wavy and not straight. and even with sanding, I don't think the seat could be flush.

I need a seat that will fit my honda CL-450. I tried my own, but it turned out bad and I don't have proper tools to be doing this again. the CL-450 is a 1971. Please let me know what you got! Thanks

Mike, Thanks I am located in Montana (Military brings me here).... Originally from Chicago!! I'm going to make a wanted ad on the forums, but if your buddy says he'd make one, I'd be more than happy to purchase Thanks!

I have a 71 CL450 with an original tank. Any possibility of your buddy making and selling another seat? I tried making a fiberglass seat and failed. I understand common CB450 seats wont fit on the CL frame. Thanks!
