I'm really digging the lid too. Who makes that?

BluesBiker said:Expect to play with the jetting some more with mufflers. If you like the straight pipe look, or sound, at least add some anti-reversion cones at the exhaust ports. Mufflers or baffles of some kind will help considerably, especially in the low and mid rpms. Straight pipes really only work at wide-open throttle, and you really don't spend much time there on a street bike. SWEET looking ride, though.

wesley1521 said:awesome looking bike. i as well have a cb450....any way you could take some close up pictures of the electronics under the seat? be very much appreciated because that is what is holding up my build right now....thanks
DenverCB450 said:Thanks
here are the best pics I have:
the battery holder is some box I found at the thrift store, under the seat is an aluminum electronics enclosure that I cut up to fit. If I were to do it again I would fabricate my own from sheet metal because it was more of a pain trying to modify something else.
boisdarc said:I am so glad you got the diagram up. Do the white and yellow wires off the stator act as phase? Like low rev and high rev to recharge the bat and run the accs?
DenverCB450 said:Here is the list of what I'm using for electronics
12v Scooter Battery 7amp
Ignition switch
points
1x condenser
Mike's XS Coils
Rectifier from Radio Shack
Stock Regulator
High/Low Switch for head light
On/Off Switch for head light (back light stays on all the time)
Brake switch on rear pedal
30amp fuse for ignition
15amp fuse for lights
I'm trying to get more current to the coils because I think I have a weak spark. I may spend the $150 to get a Dyna and some better cables but for now it runs ok. No turn signals here in Denver so those are left out. If you want to run the electric start you'll need a bigger battery.
here is a good diagram which I used for wiring:
