So apparently we've used up all of our old pistons to make trophies and now that we need some originals to CAD we don't have them!!! We're looking for a used set of stock bore CB450 pistons, ('65-'72). Condition doesn't matter. If you have some old ones laying around please email me...

Here’s what I’ve been working on since I picked it up back around January. Finished putting her together this past weekend. I still have a few things to work out, but for now I’m calling her DONE! The exhaust is still up in the air for me. What you see here was an afterthought after the...

I'm in need of a shift spindle for my 450. Nothing on ebay at this time, if you know of anywhere else or have one please let me know. it's this piece I need:

My 2nd cb450 project is nearing completion and this weekend I finally got to start her up for the first time! That never gets old! Anyway, once I got the motor all dialed in, I hoped on and tried to take her for a spin around the block. But something isn’t right… It’s idling perfectly at about...

I’m having a little slippage issue with my cb450 and was going to change the springs to see if that solves it. Ordered them 2 weeks ago and today I get an email that they cancelled my order because they can’t get them anymore. I searched every supplier I know and can’t seem to find them...

Guys do you know if a 120/90 tire will clear the swing arm opening on a 70’s CB450? …I have a 120/80 now, but for the new build was thinking of going a bit taller but am not sure how much more I can fit without scraping.

My buddy has a nice little custom Sporty and being 85* here today we decided to go on a little ride up the Gulf coast. Riding along the Gulf of Mexico is about the only nice riding around this part of Florida. The coastal side roads have lots of neat little café’s and bars on the water and most...

I’m not really liking the “swooping” stock exhaust for this new 450 build and am thinking of picking up the more angular pipes from an XS. I think they’ll fit just fine, but want to make sure I have clearance under the engine before forking out any cash. Can I ask one of you good fellas with...

83 cb 350 honda with titile $250.00 407-383-4238 ! That's all the add said! So of course the first thing I thought was; wait an ’83??? Obviously no such thing. So I had to call. Got an old lady on the phone and she quickly explained she typo’d the add, it was a ’72. I asked her about the...

Came across this one and started wondering about a few things…first is $2000 a good price for this bike in it’s current condition? And with some cleanup, polishing, tune-up etc, what could it possibly re-sell for, $3k - $4k, or is that wishful thinking? I spoke with the owner and it last ran...

A few of you have asked about my rearsets, and since I didn’t mention them in my build thread , I thought I’d put some info here for reference. First, major props to ChrisF for the idea, thnx much dude! As you can see here, I mounted them to the existing passenger and exhaust braces. Just had...

I bought this bender to try and do my own exhaust but unless I’m missing something it’s useless with 1-3/4” pipe! It’s a 12 ton model and came with 6 dies. I destroyed a ton of pipe trying various ways with different dies but it just kinks or squashes the shit out of the pipe if you get anywhere...

Geico and Full Throttle magazine held their 13th annual Florida motorcycle Expo here in Clearwater this past weekend. I decided to head out there yesterday to check it out. I’m only a few miles from the event and being 75 degrees here yesterday I of course rode my café out. When I was pulling...

So I jump on the 450 the other day, start her up and immediately notice gas spewing out at a good clip from that little nipple I circled in the picture. I quickly shut her down, wait a few minutes and try it again, but same thing! So now I’m thinking maybe the float is stuck so I remove the bowl...

After 8 long months I finally got the 450 completed and ready to ride today!! The paint is black cherry and really came out looking great, it's just a little redder than I expected, but I'll live with it for now.

Hey guys, I need a set of CB450 K5-K7 top fork bolts, would prefer NOS if anyone knows where I can score them. Otherwise if you have a set in good shape let me know. Thnx.

took this crappy cell phone pic this morning. This 750 is 100% original with 5k on the odometer, no restoration at all and it doesn’t have a scratch or spec of rust anywhere to be found…the guy wants a bit more than I would pay though, $10k!! Nice bike but OUCH!!

Got my decals from Carter today! I had him make this smaller one to fit this newly pained half lid…They really came out great!!!

So the folks in my office got me a cake this past Friday, and look who’s bike they found to put on it!!! It’s a tasty ride for sure Rousta!!
