I need to rebuild my 1970 CB450. Compression check reads 90 psi on the left cylinder and 100 psi on the right cylinder. I might just try replacing the rings with standard size replacements as a cheap way to get back on the road before winter hits and then do a proper rebuild when its too cold to ride. Ebay is the only place where I can find rings, and every once in while i can find nos pistons on there but they're way to expensive. Wiseco is the only other place were i can find pistons but they want $180 a piece! This is a badass show quality cafe racer that i've spent all year building and i just want to be able to show it off at work before the riding season is over.
I need CB450 PISTONS!

Is that the same bike ? I thought that one was in Australia IIRC. Maybe not. I just love the self adulation/promotion in the post. No false modesty there. Don't get me wrong. People should be proud of their work but the whole tone of that post just left a stale taste.

Honestly I dont remember where that bike was built.
Its about two years ago IIRC.
To me it was the best example of an art project.
Tone of attention to detail. Lots of money spent, but zero thought that had to do with motorcycles
Looks are always subjective so you either like the style or you dont. Personally its a great looking thing.
Relatively simple in its execution, I just wish it was a motorcycle

Jump in with both feet.
I'd go with the wiseco ones. They're real purdy. I bought a set of 67.5mm with deep valve pockets for my cb350. Pretty awesome. I picked up teflon wrist pin caps too.
