New toy!
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:14:18 am »
Well after missing a pristine CL450 last week on craigslist I found a 1971 CB450 for sale today. Dashed over and snapped it up after taking a couple of hours personal time from work. No pics yet as I wasd in a rush. I have the title now I have to grab the truck and go back and pick her up. Last tagged in 1986 so I have a LOT of work to do! Thankfully the insulators are still available as is the clutch cable. Non standard handlebars and mismatched grips; the usual stuff on an old bike. Surface rust and the engine is covered in white oxidization but a solid bike for the money. I will post up pics later this week. My first ever bike was a 1970 CB450 and I have been wanting to add one to the stable all these many years.
