And then the good stuff. Where to begin with all the modifications...
I was a poor black chile... no, wait...wrong story...ahhh yes...
I started with a 1971 Honda CB450. I am a Ducati guy but wanted something a little different, So here are the specs:
Dissmantled every nut and bolt from the frame.
Beadblasted said frame, motor and components.
Ground unnecessary brackets and tabs from the frame and welded on rear seat loop, battery box, and mounts for rearsets.
Frame, swingarm, engine mounts, etc powdercoated silver-grey.
Steel tank and tail (BCR) painted tuxedo black with white number plates and tank scallops outlined with silver stripes.
Terry Naughtin (Team Hansen) rebuilt the motor (upgraded, but not full race spec. This is a street bike to be ridden.)
New 32mm Mikuni carbs with individual K&N filters. (Trying to find velocity stacks with screens. 57mm or 2 1/4inch , I believe)
POLISHED; hubs, cam other engine covers, front brake caliper, fork lowers, top triple (after grinding down the handlebar mounts), stock contol switches, and anything other aluminum I could find.
Forks rebuilt with fresh seals and installed preload spacers (unable to find stiffer springs).
A/N fitting welded to rear cam chain cover for breather vent
I laced up new 18 inch alloy rims and stainless spokes.
Crossdrilled the brake disc.
Braided stainless brake lines.
Longer Hagon shocks (14.5 inch if I recall).
New fork tubes (Forking by Frank).
Bronze swingarm bushings, tapered head bearings.
BCR custom pea shooter exhaust--very first set.
Smaller battery relocated to under the tail.
Custom throttle cable.
Aluminum Vortex clip-ons.
Tarrozi rearsets. (half inch aluminum plate waiting for use as mounting brackets).
Bar-end mirror.
Every possible nut and bolt replaced with stainless from McMaster Carr.
On here, it looks so simple, but this has been a long and involved project, though a labor of love.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of stuff, but I'll post a few photos.
