    Air Pod filters will work, you just have to be smart about it!

    90% of the reason Air Pods or individual filters on each carburator don't work is the non-laminar air flow they allow or create through the carburator body/venturi. Air pods sit open to the environment, dynamic air, flowing past the irregular shape of the bike and the rider causing turbulence...

    Saddest time of the Season

    :( The best of our riding days are passed for the season, many of us are south of the border at the Barber Festival and for most of us in southern Ontario this represents the nearing end of riding season. Sure there are those with the benefit of the downtown mini ecosystem that enables you to...

    Sauble Beach

    For several years now while at our cottage in Sauble Beach, I have seen a CB350 or similar ride past and I have been meaning to find the rider to see if he is on this board. I do know he's north of the Huron Feathers church. Anyone know him?

    WTB 7/8" Superbike Bars

    I am in the Toronto Ontario area and I am looking for a set of used superbike bars for a 1983 Suzuki GS450. The bars on the bike right now are 28" wide 6" rise with 6" pullback and I am looking for something 27 - 30" wide, 2-2.5" rise with 3-4" pullback in chrome or black. Yes I know they are...

    Final Tune for this Build

    The weather here warmed up enough for me to take my recent 1971 CB450 Cafe build out for a final tuning. With the Pamco ignition running perfect the bike performed flawlessly, even in heavy cross winds with K&N pod filters on the stock carbs. This 450 has a tremendous amount of go and coupled...

    CB350 Twin vs CB450 Twin Stator cover????

    Does anyone know for a fact as to whether the CB350 Twin stator cover will fit the CB450 Twin although upside down??? The reason I ask there is a guy on this site who is making and selling a finned CB350 cover and if they fit the CB450 (circumference and bolt spacing) then I would grab one.

    The Truth what is it?

    As most of us here I like to go fast and tinker with whatever is in the stable to make it go faster and look sweeter. Most of the bikes and cars I've owned I have modified and in my opinion are faster and safer at the posted speed limit than what came from the factory. Here comes my point...

    '71 CB450K4 Engine rebuild

    Okay here's the skinny, not much out there to assist in rebuilding a ridden hard and put away wet motor. I have found there are several Honda OEM replacement parts still available such a o-rings, seals and stuff, but when it comes to wear parts like pistons, rings and sleeves not much is on the...

    Kickstart Only

    If as the Title suggests, I am only going to have kickstart only, what minimum size battery can I get away with to provide adequate voltage for the ignition system and lights on a 1971 CB450 Twin? Would a small 3 AH maintaince free battery work well?

    Bar hopping low to the ground, less distance to fall!

    In the country there's a Bar 20 minutes away in any direction, but you got to be sober enough to see the railway crossings.... or your ass will be in the grass!

    Old fart with wrenching skills

    I am on many forums, usually using the Cqyqte sign-in. I am retired and live just north of the big smoke TO. Been riding for years and have never found a bike I don't think couldn't use some tweaking. At present I own three bikes my daily rider, a 2002 customed Roadstar called the Stooge, a...
