Hey guys. Holy shit it's been years since I posted on here, what have I missed? I purchased a posh switch for a SL 350 I'm working on. It has a three way switch and a horn button. The horn is easy, that makes sense, but just wanna check the wiring on the 3 way switch.... From another topic...

More 450 problems Was running great. Holding great low revs steady as a rock. Then after a 45 minute run, stopped for a couple of hours..... Got a couple of miles in and she dies at low revs.... Battery seems to be out. Low lights etc. lock her up... I come back the next day with new battery...

Long shot, but I need a black bomber tank. Cheers Mike

Hey folks. Long time no post! Quit my job and am back in the garage..... Problems with my 74' CL450 Drum brake. New shoes. Grease and cleaned cams. Chamfered edges. When Axle is tightened fully the drum will not turn in the wheel. It's somehow engaged. The tighter the axle the more difficult it...

Hello, I'm removing the stock controls on my 450 and replacing with a Wipac HI/LO horn switch. My question relates to the indicator wires and on/off switch. As far as the indicators go I think I can just removing and/or cap those with no ill effects but I'm unsure about what to do with the wires...

Does anybody know the difference in axle length between a 69 cl 450 and a 74 cl 450? They are different part numbers but the same diameter. I have a 69 BOX assembly on the way from a 69' that is the same part number for the 74, it comes with an axle....not sure if it'll fit but don't want to...

Part number 44800-294-000 Need ASAP! Thanks! Mike

Hi folks, I half absentmindedly ordered a 2.75 19, or 90/90/19 front tire for my CL450. Stock is 3 or 100. I'm gonna go against the grain here and say like thinner tires on this bike in any case. What are the ramifications of putting this tire on the stock 1.85 rim? Thanks Mike

74' cl450. I recently rebuilt the transmission with a new drum and forks. No dents or pits or chips. The gears looked great. The engine shifted through all gears nicely out of the bike. I put it back in, and haven't rode it much but it was still shifting decently, however first was super close...

for a cl450 but a cl350 will do, as long as the axle od is 15mm

feeling underwhelmed enough to start ding my own painting, throwing away all rattlecans! where do you guys buy your stuff?

I have adjusted these clutches plenty and feel like I understand that process properly. Double checked myself by following the manual step by step. The ball is in and the mechanism is working correctly. I can't get the clutch to engage fully. I took off the sidecovers to check what is going on...

Cl450. My clutch felt right but wasn't engaging properly. Maybe just slightly bit not to a usuable level. I recall putting it together I was unsure if I had the right ball bearing in. The correct number is 10 or 5/16. I measured the one in there, it's a 1/4. Would this be enough to stop it from...

gentlemen, I'm sick of the almost good enough results I get out of a rattlecan, or spending extra cash when I want something to look better. I'm gonna get a proper sprayer. I understand how to prep and I have access to a booth so it's about time. What am I looking for in a sprayer? I'm assuming...

So, I ordered brake shoes for my CL 450. They didn't fit. I notices that there were "washers as spacers" on the wheel, deduced it was from a CL350 72" on looks mainly. That and theres not any other 19" wheels that fit description from that period. Ordered the 350 shoes. They don't fit. If you...

Preferably from a cb/cl 450 but a 350 should work. Need ASAP!

Got it once after many hours found out I had aligned a casting mark. Two hours in still can't get this bastard right. I need tips from the experts. Just when I thought I had it twice, turning the rotor again reveals it's one or two teeth out. WTF!!!! THIS THING IS KILLING ME

Guys need some spacers for the 450. Cant find 15mm ID at McMaster Car or Fastenal. Need it quick, any advice? Cheers Mike

Hey guys I lost the "tongued washer" or 10mm sprocket retaining bolts for the rear wheel of my 74' CL 450. I can't find em anywhere. I have seen guys drill through the bolts and nuts and secure with wire. What kinda wire should I use and how do you rate this technique?

The wife's family were responsible for a free 73 cb750 in boxes. On the back of a truck from Florida comes a VT500 Ascot that's sat in a shed for a few years. Looking forward to having something that'll run when I need it to. Gonna be weird to deal with a cooling system, fairing, bike post 1974...
