74 cB450 frame mods
« on: December 13, 2015, 03:02:41 PM »
Hello

I am looking to build a café style racer from my 74 CB 450, I looked through old posts for information on frame modification and opinions/input for ideas, and would like to keep in mind structural integrity hearing from those with experience.

With the seat and rear end style I am choosing I am wondering if I need to add support if I remove the upper seat bracket and forward rear fender support bracket? and I was hoping for some ideas for a clean way to mount a trimmed down rear fender?

Thanks guys....This sight seems to be much kinder to newbies then other "Italian" LOL....sites :)

I think there is a section listed on this site for "OTHER BIKES". Its more of a project section that would better fit your needs and where you'd get proper feedback. Maybe move this thread over there for best results.

Welcome to the site and we look forward to seeing your project unfold.
