I'm recovered now. I also don't think that the bike in the above pic is a 450.

I believe it was called Cloud Silver.

You're the man toytuff! Thanks a bunch for finding this.

Imagine cloud silver fenders and the Sunrise Flake Orange tank/side covers on a CB450....white decals...

Thinking about making the gauges white with Orange text.....

It will keep it "classic", but will have some modern touches to it with a hint of "custom".

Nothing over the top that would kill the value, but just enough personalization to make it a real looker. Frame and engine will be stock, as from the factory.

Drop him an email. Very nice person, quick responce to be sure. I ordered the engine case paint in a can. Works great, applies easy and the finish is perfect.

At the local Honda dealer a few years ago. The only 450 I've ever seen in the flesh. Drool. 8)

That is IMPRESSIVE

Yep - very tidy stock Black Bomber there.

I do like the silver fenders, I had to replace mine with old chrome ones, but I got them painted silver so the bike still had the bomber look.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

What are you on about Dave, that's clearly a Camaro, just as the bike that Stevo's on is clearly a CB450! ;D

Yeah, well it's a toss up as to whether the Camaro or the Pontiac GTO was Harry Ford's finest work Dave, but I really love those DOHC Hemi's, so I guess the Camaro is my Favorite? ;D

Good point! Anything goes now.

So, what kind of oil would you use in your Dodge Camero?

Well of course I'd love a Dodge Camero TT, but I'm saving up for a new Ford Corvette turbo diesel, and when I get one, I'm only gonna run Walmart oil it, because everyone knows that synthetics are all bullschidt anyway, and expensive to boot! ;D

I have been dithering on this for 2 years.  Good parts are crazy expensive, and have been unwilling to put what looks like 6 to 7 K plus hundreds of hours into it.

I have it stripped down & the frame was powder coated almost a year ago.

I think the cafe like this will be a better result.  Not as valuable as a perfect restoration, but I think it will be more to my liking.
