that is a helluva lot better overall motorcycle than 99% of the cafe racer cb450's out there
ideally it needs mild rearset footpegs and some std low bars but it is not been hacked into a useless unridable turd like 97% of the rest ;) it even has decent aftermarket shocks which is rare
 
True.
And I like the lace paint.
Will come down to what the seller set the reserve at.

That big talk about being the best is kinda funny though
Its a stock bike that has had a few simple mods
 
Speaking of "shocks" I need some for my heavily modified Mad Max CB750... anything on the XB shelf ? I haven't welded lower mounts till I figure for iye to iye/clevis

I'll measure up, but somewhere in the 14in range, gonna be ridden at first by a 215lb 6-2 rider then sold off.

215 in gear ? :D pretty much stock cb750 upper lower mount locations and leverage ratio ?

nah, just shorts and chucks, I'm 6-1 and way bigger. stock upper, lower will be 30mm back from stock hens the "14" in and probably closer to 14.5in but a tad taller mount with eye (if eye) and a tad larger fastener with brass bushy in ally (I will bore and fit) I quit math when LevRate was the next course... that's why the suspension guys come to the track anyways right? I mean WT fuck is sticktion? :eek:

No front fender = crap all over you and your bike. Why do people keep getting rid of those? Plus they stiffen the front end up a bit ???
 
It wasn't cool to have a front fender, plus it was weight. That's me on the Condor 450 Honda on the right. It was the fastest bike in Salt Lake City, with Weber stage 2 cams and Venolia pistons. It turned a 13.17 @ 99mph at 4300ft elevation.

The wiring between the switch and the starter is questionable, but the harness is definitely not the problem. Huh? ???
