New project! 1968 CB 450 K-1 Super Sport
« on: August 26, 2016, 07:27:02 PM »
Finally got this bike almost road ready! Hopefully tommorow I will drive down the road and hopefully back! 
 This is a bike I heard rumours of from my Dad! Took me 3 years to get it!! Its a one owner bike with 9500 miles. It had cream hard saddle bags(keyed and in great shape) a windshield, rear backrest lugagge rack and engine guard highway bars. That stuff was on there since new. Regretably the rear lights got spliced for the bags. One muffler has a small hole. Ill try to patch it and search for a better one. It has brand new Pirelli tires!! from 2002!! Oh well!

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

That's awesome! Beautiful bike! I've always loved the early cb450s. I just picked up a 1 owner 66 k0 a few days ago. I've been looking for a couple years.
