Hi problem solvers :D I'm chasing an engine top case for a Honda CL450 K3, engine number will start with CL450E-40xxxxx. I just need the case, no studs etc, happy to pay the freight etc. Thanks Rod

Same here, but you stated that one corrosive acid was safer than another, very foolish considering they are both listed on the dangerous good register.

I think you need to do a little research, any oxidant mixed in strong enough concentration is explosive and if used "as directed" is safe and problem free, in fact it is sold in many forms in shopping centres, one being a pipe cleaner and stain remover as well as a timber deck cleaner. As for...

Hey groovers do you self a favour and go and buy some Oxalcic Acid, it used in the jewellery industry and also as a wood cleaner (fresh up decks etc) it will remove rust from anything including chrome plated parts without damaging the chrome etc, you can even be used in the washing if you have...

Hey, do you have a photo of the handlebars? cheers Rod

Mate, keep up the good work and the photos :) the brain snap withe the knee dents had me in tears, such a lovely tank and super idea of the polished understated stripe, oh well ;) the tank extension is going to make those knee dents superfluous. Just my thoughts, keep up the great work and the...

Sorry I'm still not getting the reply notification :-[ so only check back every couple of days. I don't have a spare housing, these bikes are not common in Australia so any parts available are generally kept. The spares i have generally come from the U.S and that is how i got the spare housing...

Yep sorry for not replying sooner, didn't get a notification >:( Anyway pictures are better than words! Take one housing and slice off the outer 7mm. I used a band saw, but a mill would work or a hack saw with lots of patience ;D Some people have just ground down the sensors ??? which...

If there is excess fuel that causes a secondary explosion (rare) then the engine would be flooded to the point of not running, so you would need to tune the carbs etc. All modern engines run a wasted spark to do exactly that, burn off any excessive fuel to reduce the emission.

Gents i have a mate that has a XJ550 in Brisbane going real cheep $300 tops. It need some TLC and carbs rebuilding but is mostly complete. He was going to build a Rat bike but has bought a CL450 to restore instead. Contact me and I'll pass on his details..... Rod from OZ 8)
