Topic: CB450 Black Bomber Project for 2007

[RRRToolSolutions]

Guys, I go and pick up this piece of history this weekend. I plan to do a full "stock" restoration of a 1965 450 bomber. I'm told parts are hard to come by. Any resources for original/nos or correct pattern parts will be much appreciated. I'll need pipes, seats, emblems, horn, handlebars, speedo/tach, ect.

Thanks,
Gordon

All the best for your project. Join an owners forum, troll eBay, join the VJMC and have fun.

PS. You are rich, aren't you?

Very cool Gordon!!!!! This one will for sure be more of a challenge than the 750 and maybe even more than the Kawi smokers!! Happy buildin dude. Make sure and send pics of the progress.

        All Right!! The 450s seem to be slowly coming out of the woodwork! I don't know what references you have, so here goes:
