Re: 1970 Honda CL450 "The Merc"

Jealous of my sweet motorcycle (probably not as yours runs better than mine). jealous of where i live, in the nice part of town. Jealous of my awesome art. Jealous of my pure awesomeness...need i say more?

Haha....you must be colorblind! Have you looked around your part of town?
And your art is quite amazing, so amazing that I'm sure you make a living off of it too! Mwahaha

I bought my knee pads from ebay and they came with adhesive pads that are the same size at the pads themselves...its a no-brainer from there. they adhere uniformly and don't budge a bit.

Thanks guys!

Wow, just an awesome build!
(I do have to say I was glad to see when you changed front fenders, however...but that's just my own taste speaking.)
Original, unique and a great example of a personal piece of rolling caff artwork - well done!

 

[milehighcj360t]

still not quite there...this running vid is with 35pj...didn't change the popping much.

Sweet new handlebars...Norman Hyde M bars...they are awesome and i am glad i switched.

 

[rays650cafe]

Those look awsome! Where'd the grips come from?

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Lucky Bastard...I love the looks of M bars! Just wish I could find them from someplace other than Norman Hyde, crazy money. At least for my meager bike funds. :-[

 

[milehighcj360t]

Grips are Posh, good luck finding them, its a real pain in the arse. And those are Norman Hyde bars, from Norman himself...and yes, they certainly are expensive...but so worth it.

Changed the tail configuration, moving the license plate to the axle, shits coming together...

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Yes sir, This bike is rad!

 

[bigtexan449]

purrty! looks great. I love brown grips....what kind of mirror are you rockin?

 

[milehighcj360t]

Dime city cycles bar end mirror...quality shit.

 

[DreadRock]

Yes they are man running one on the XS ! was looking at the tail light on your bike and looks great, all but the bolts on the top of the fender . Maybe mount that leather bag you where talking about to hide them ? Or get a nice leather stripe the color of your grip and run from under your seat to the end of the fender so the bolts look neater there ? ;D

 

[Yamatech]

check what color yur plugs are. I've encountered that noise from the carbs a few times all of which had something to do with the intake valve, whether it be too tight of a clearance or the valve sort of sticking.

 

[milehighcj360t]

more pics, changed some things...still not running quite right tho.
