Looking for input. I’m trying to workout where to install electronics so I can determine battery cable lengths. Thinking about putting the solenoid either vertically next to the regulator/rectifier, or horizontally on the opposite side of the battery. Battery terminals on the same side as the...

Ran into an issue with the carbs. The boots aren’t long enough to get the choke levers to clear the bolts on the engine covers. Looking into adding some more gaskets and finding lower profile bolts. Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

You are correct, we upgraded carbs to Mikuni VM32s. Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON

The tray is just pressure fit in right now. We will weld it together, very carefully since it is so thin, then tack it to the frame.

Got a battery tray roughed in. Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

So I tracked down the long threaded rod that goes through the bottom mount on the frame and engine that I was missing. Now I have the issue that the hole in the frame is ~10mm diameter and the bolt is ~12mm! Did they go to a larger size in later models? I had a hard enough time finding this rod...

I am looking for a working starter motor for my '69 Honda CL450. Ideally would like to spend around $50 or less. Thanks, Ethan

James really wanted to get some wheels on, so we got after it this weekend and made some good progress. We will have to go back and take wheels back off when we get new brake shoes for the rear and tires, but it was nice to see it look like a bike again! Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

Picked up an old seat off eBay. Tore it down and pieces together the old foam and reshaped it. Covered with some carpet padding. I know it’s probably not the “right” way, but it works for me! Now to find some brown leather or something to make a cover. Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

I am looking for some brown leather to cover the seat of my CL450. I'm guessing at least 36"x24". Thanks, Ethan

Thanks for looking! My son wants to do electric start so he can start it. I might have to give in on that one. Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

Thanks Goldy. We have been making sure to have masks and ventilation now. Definitely don’t want to damage that kid! Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

I need some recommendations on carbs. I have the stock carbs, which would need a rebuild including a new flapper valve which looks melted (backfire?), but I wanted to upgrade. I was thinking the Mikuni VM32s were the way to go. I pickup up one, but missed on the other so I need to either switch...

Since we are stuck at home we stripped and started finishing the tank. Discovered that the places for the tank emblems had been filled with Bondo. Gonna dig it out and find some replacements. Sent from my iPhone ’68 Honda CL450

Are those rust/rough spots something we can fix, or do the tubes need to be replaced? Sent from my iPhone using DO THE TON
