Leave it the same size/shape, but change to dark leather to match the grips.

I'm with matt leave it the same all around just change color of seat to match the grips ( which are very cool by the way ) !

I vote you have someone (me) come over with a real camera and take real photos of it, not these grainy cell phone pics you've been subjecting us to.

Looking great! What tires are those? Are they 18" rear w/ 19" front?

Re: 1970 Honda CL450 (project kickass)

Shinko 705's ?

 

[milehighcj360t]

Re: 1970 Honda CL450 (project kickass)

yes they are Shinko 705s and 120/80/18 and 110/80/19.

Yes i haven't even bothered with taking reasonable pics as its still in my garage, but i think the ones from last night turned out better, just tough to get the right lighting in there with the shiny everything on the bike.

Got a new fender, she's purdy. polished the top fins, they are purdy. thanks for the insight into the seat, i've gotta wait a little bit until i get paid anyway, so i'll try my hand at a few things on my own first. need to find me some cheap leather to match that sexy side bag i'm going to get (see below).

getting close to being finished! such a great feeling.

Re: 1970 Honda CL450 (project kickass)

what type of electrical do you have going on or planned? kill switch? headlight/tail?

 

[milehighcj360t]

Re: 1970 Honda CL450 (project kickass)

no kill switch, just headlight, signals, horn.

Re: 1970 Honda CL450 (project kickass)

Dude, text me when you have some time so I can come take some photo's. Then you can start your next hobby of scrap-booking.

1970 Honda CL450 "Mercury Marauder"

Well, i'm 95% done with this baby. got some leather coming for my new seat, going to switch to the mikuni VM32s, find a reasonable small side bag and it should be golden. Also, my pipes rape unto thy ears...so i need to find some that aren't so damn loud. Still not firing on one side as my keihins are leaking like a sieve due to a highly improperly set float...going to work on that tonight. As for now, i rolled her out of the garage and snapped some decent motivational photos. I welcome thoughts as to how to make this more awesome.

Thanks,

H

Arrow 2-1 exhaust... Like the Triumph Scrambler option.
