Hey Can...Member Dave Bobco has a real nice one, he is in Ohio

PM me if you want his email address.

I have a CB 450 K1, which differs only in styling.

Several CB450 K0 guys over at HondaTwins.net, and lots of info - also a couple of guys with police models (very rare) and D-model conversions (also rare).

I have 2 right now and have had about a dozen of them in the last 2 years

Im pretty sure you can find the shop manual pdf on the honda twins forum. Hondatwins.net or something like that. You can PM me for parts or other questions. I don't have many parts available at this moment as they sell through extremely quickly when i get them, but I will be parting one out in the next couple weeks.

Shop manual for a 4-speed is not easy to find at all.
I have one as actual paper, but no desire to copy it to pdf..........

[Can550]

Would you consider selling it ?

Sorry, I don't think so.

Member that calls himself RRRTool Solutions, had one.  He did a COMPLETE restore on that one. The guy has restored motorcycles, that a lot of people wouldn't even consider picking up on, much less sinking money & a ton of effort into.

BUT, when he is done, you would not have a clue, as to how bad it was, in the beginning.

Gorgeous!  The one I am looking at is a "survivor", not restored as yours is.

[Can550]

Mine is restored only to painted engine covers and new tyres, rest is untouched original

Thats amazing Can, it looks to be in fantastic shape!

Here is a pic of the '67 I'm going to check out next week.  Dave pointed out it doesnt have the correct handlebars and carbs. I dont like the high bars and would change them




The seller states it was a barn find 20 years ago and he rarely even cleaned it as he liked the look.
But mechanically, it runs/rides as it should.  He's a friend of a friend, not a Craigslist Flake, so I believe him

 That would be a nice addition to your collection Steve. I've only had a chance to buy one of those around here and hesitated just a little too long.

Yes, I agree Eric.  The CB450 is the most impressive bike, ya know?!! 

I've wanted one for awhile now but never see them for a reasonable price.  Certainly wish it was in better cosmetic condition but maybe it will just stay as it is?

Hard to say on the condition until you see it. Doesn't look like its ever been detailed out really well maybe since it left the barn. Some elbow grease and cleaners might make it very impressive indeed !!

They are gorgeous machines and would love to have one.  I once heard them described as a shot across the bow to the American and British manufacturers.  It's arrival stated that "We're coning".  The CB750 stated "We've arrived".

I have few sets of all 5 control cables (grey/ brand new), may be able to find a handlebar too though very hard to come by.

If I buy it and I certainly think I will, I would be interested in buying a set of the control cables and the lower handle bars if you have a straight pair.

Otherwise I will be tempted to put 400F bars on it at least temporarily until I can find the proper bars.

Thanks

[Can550]

I personally like “cb77 superhawk “ bars on bombers
