Hello from Joliet, Illinois!

Well my son decided to buy a 74 cb450 and now I have been tasked with A. Getting it to run properly. (performance gets worse the longer he rides. I think it's charging/ignition issue. B. Improve engine performance. (possible rebuild with some head work) C. Improve riding performance. (Brakes, suspension etc.)
Thanks for add.

Welcome from Lake Superior,
The charging system on these bikes does not accomplish much below 3,000 rpm. If your son is doing a lot of stop and go city driving this could cause issues with a weak battery.
