If you need me I'll call you
Well this is going to be my first Cafe Racer, Still trying to decide what direction I want to take it.
It’s a 74 cb450 bought it for 400.00 and it still runs. Bought it off a Honda mechanic in Ohio(central).
The gas tank was completely rusted and filled with bondo and had so many coats of paint even saw some purple in their lol. So me and my friend Daryl bought some tank sealer the 3 step and got the inside all cleaned up. took 4 days to dry? Felt like forever.
After that I dropped it off to my friend Jake to go to town. Filled the holes and made the take smooth again. Said took him 8 hours just to get the tank back to the normal shape. I decided to paint the tank Frost White with blue pearl and side covers.
I went and put clubmans on, bought a new gas cap and latch. fuel line and petcock.
This weekend I'll be starting her up again hopefully it run better with the new gas tank than a Coors light car HAAHAH
(i had to see it run couldn’t wait) funny part is Daryl rode the bike like that *talk about ridin dirty*
I hope you guys like it so far or have any ideas or thoughts. I am going to get rid of the whole Speedo/tack/indicator lights. I am going to buy a headlight bucket and rock just a tach in it.
*as for the seat I’m lost I can’t decide if I want to go cafe or brat
