Thanks for the info Scrambeemer... I'm looking to put one on a CB450 build. I was just looking up replacement bung and petcock if I go that route...fill the Italian original threaded outlet and weld in a totally new piece. Much like yourself, I may just add a cap and outlet as well... Did you...

Anyone happen to have information on petcocks and gas caps for these tanks? Is there a universal unit for these or does it need to be a Benelli unit? Thank you...

Thats exactly who I got them from Sonreir....He is great to work with and shipped them right away. and no need to apologize jackstraw650...I didnt mean to start a tussle. The knee indents look great! It's exactly the direction I was headed.

A few new items I picked up for the build... A set of Yamaha FZR rearsets...a bit new looking, but I'll make some changes. Swingarm bushings and tapered bearing headset. 18" wheel from EBAY... Tab cutting and grinding tonight among other things.

Whoa guys... Everyone is allowed their own opinions...but what we do with the parts and bikes we have is our own. We all know that not everyone will agree with our changes to them. I'm sure this has been going on for centuries...there are no wrong or rights. If builders never took liberties...

Re: CB450 Café Racer Build. SPOKES Your project is going great...and awe-inspiring for a fellow CB450 builder. I cant wait to see the engine pics.

I bought an 18" rim complete the other day off ebay...it is in great shape, got it over the weekend. The 16" is in great shape, but i think the 18" flows better with the direction. The shoes looked new and someone had already installed new sealed bearings and seal. Also picked up a couple stock...

Very nice Job! Smooth as a babies bottom....

Thank you for the input guys, as well as the warm welcome...I have been searching for various ways to de-rust the tank...I added filters just to ride it around a bit and they were filled quite rapidly. I was directed to a great site (Moped Army) on the topic...

Hey everyone...here we go! Bought a 1969 CB450 with a 71 disk frontend...19" front rim, 16' rear...the PO had the forks shoved up 4" through the top tree when I got it...and shortened shocks in the rear... Runs decent...carbs need work, tank is rusty... As purchased(except for pushing the...

Hello, time to quit lurking and get down to buisness on my new project.... I recently purchased a 69 cb450 with a 71 front(disk) end....not a bad bike, runs and rides fair...needs the usual stuff, carbs n such... The PO added the 16" rim and had the fork tubes 4" through the top trees trying to...
