here ya go...untouched fenders on the bike...still looking for someone who sells a bobbed one that would fit that's polished/chrome. The ebay ones that were mentioned look to small in the dimensions (CG125 etc)

Sorry I can get pictures in the morning. And to be more specific - I opted not to chop & loop my frame so it's stock as well as the seat and rear fender.

I'm nearly done with my 1970 CL450 build and have hit a roadblock. I was planning on chopping the rear fender and realized the gap between the fender and tire is huge and I don't like it. I assume what most people do is go with shorter shocks? And then I'd have to raise the forks in the...

Got it I’ll give it a shot thanks all Sorry for the stupid questions but this is my first go at building a bike

Yeah static timing - never done it with a meter what should I set it to? Same idea with the contact leads I’m guessing

Yea weird thing is when I touch the testing light directly to the battery it does not light up. So I made a homemade light tester with an unused turn signal and it worked across the battery so I tried to use that for timing and it didn’t work either... Frustrating all I want to do is ride this...

Everything works as the bike started right up. I have the timing light holes up in parallel with the yellow lead from the coil with that green short alligator clip extension. The black are grounds

I am finishing up my 1970 Honda CL450 build and have hit a roadblock. I installed a Charlie's Place electronic ignition and went to time it and can't get any timing light to go on. I'm stumped. My battery is good and I followed all directions I could find. Tried different timing lights...

I've got a '70 CL450 I did a frame off restomod to and have decided to go further with the mods. I like the classy vintage look so my goal is to keep those lines but bringing it a little more modern and svelt. I want a very short front fender and would also like the same for the rear. I'm...

That's what I thought, probably not enough to be an issue - thanks for the help appreciate it Here's my previous build - 1970 CL450 that I did a frame off restomod. My first build and I LOVED it but I don't want to be constrained by restoring again I want to custom build so this new CB500...

I have a 72 CB500 I'm gonna build and I'd like to switch from 19" front to 18" front to match the rear 18". Just cause I like the symmetry of matching wheels on cafe bikes. I know the basics of geometry where smaller front means it should turn in slightly quicker but is that it? That small...

I"m looking for something simple where I can make basic changes such as color, wheels, tank etc but doesn't need to be a 3D or CAD program. Just a visual aid in the initial design process. Thanks World

My other bikes are a BMW K1300S and a Kawi KLX250S that I fixed up. I also have a couple small Razor electric dirt bikes I ride with my 7 year old now that he's learning to ride. I love new bike technology but I hate the way they all look for the most part. I'm very partial to 70's and even...

Great thanks all this is very helpful. So more on my thoughts- I want this to be a very quality and clean build done right so I'm willing to spend some money where I need to but saving money is also key as I have 3 bikes and my wife will bust my balls so I have to be smart about it. I...

OK I think I've saved enough dough to do a build I've been wanting to do for quite a while. I want to get something without a lot of parts to maintain as once it's done I want to ride as much as possible so I've settled on the old Honda CB350 (or CL). Since my back is a bit shot I'm going to go...

Yup I agree with all of that. Thats why I want to start with a simple bike so I can have a better shot at completing it (and doing it right). My budget is a little higher for the donor bike cause I agree that I need something that's in good running condition to begin with so I don't run into...

Thanks guys good advice. I'm surprised though I thought I'd get a lot of responses from this board with help for a first timer... I've always loved bikes - my mom recently died from pancreatic cancer which was brutal to watch and I realized that if you want to do something in life you'd...

Hello world... I've been lurking for a couple years thinking about doing a restomod with a cafe flavor. I've been riding a majority of my life, currently own a BMW K1300s and a KLX250s. I have basic mechanical skills and am willing to learn. If I do this I want to do it right and start off...
