Cool, thank's guys! I've gotten the exhaust side back together and lined up, gonna try and finish the intake side today once I get home from school.

Flugtechnik thanks for the response. I just cleaned them up. So if they would just need the same process as tuning, I will simply replace the cam and line it up and then adjust the valves after correct?

It has been some time since my last post, mainly due to being busy with school. I have(very slowly), taken apart my motor to replace the piston rings. I also replaced the cam chain and the rollers that sit next to the sprocket on the exhaust side. My question now is that, when I reinstall the...

Alright so I rewired my bike and got her running again! However when I switch the headlight switch to the low or high position, my fuse blows. Does anyone have any advice?

Here's a couple of pictures of subtle upgrades so far. Took some satin black rattle can to the taillight housing and put a new taillight. Threw on one of the 7" satin black headlight buckets on as well.

The first chance I had to work on my bike, I pulled the tank off and used some metal rescue to get rid of the rust. It worked like a charm, I had also seen in a post to put screws in and shake the tank, which helped to lift the remaining 10% or so of the oxidation in my tank. Simultaneously, I...

So, I procrastinate on everything. However, I figure it's time to get my build thread up. About a year ago I bought this '74 cl450. It is my first bike and only vehicle. This is how the bike looked when I first picked it up(although I've this far lacked any skills/resources for any major changes...

That bike looks rad!

Sleep is usually a good station.

Gasoline and gasoline.

Kipper snacks are great! I've been into chilli mangos lately, not sure how healthy they are though.
