g'day if you didnt see my introduction post well here it is again :
my name is Brad and im from Newcaslte Australia. im 20 years old and i love everything old and vintage, i drive a '65 slammed bug daily and thought i needed a bike to match. i recently bought a 1971 cb450, it apparently been in a shed for the past few years and now its in my hands. it is (was) completely stock and i plan to make an every day rider brat/cafe sort of build. ive creeped around on here a bit before as just a guest so i thought id better register and show of my bike. anyway enough of the blabber, heres the bike.
picking it up and seeing it for the first time
got it home, gave it a quick little clean up
started changing a few things, pipe wrap, clubmans, and pods
started it up like this, sounded tinny and loud. i wont be leaving it like this though dont worry
and then i fitted this one of kind tailight, and hence the name of the bike.
another angle
starting to look better now, no guards, no indicators
and this is where im up to now, currently trying to get some cool looking grips and putting in a huge order with DCC.
and im planning on making a new seat pan up, so took the seat off and its really starting to take shape.
so thats pretty much it, hope you guys like photos cause theres a shit load there ;D
