In my opinion, this bike shouldn't really be considered a "project."
It just doesn't run and is incomplete. But ,really, it just needs a few things. Oh yes, and I "cafed" it
Hi,
I am selling a 1971 Honda CB450 with VERY low original miles (4,741 to be exact). This bike is in EXCELLENT mechanical and cosmetic condition and has had a lot of work put into it. It has recently undergone a complete tune-up involving new points, plugs, valve adjustment, ultrasonically cleaned carbs, fresh oil, and more. The bike runs very strong and has excellent compression. Cosmetically, the bike looks as though it has been in existence for ten years instead of 40--SERIOUSLY. It is very clean and virtually rust-free. The tank is perfectly straight, shiny and and would probably look NEW if it were actually polished. The pipes (headers AND mufflers) are in pristine condition as well, and are probably in best ORIGINAL condition I have seen. They, too, could benefit from a polishing, but look great as-is.
The bike has the following add-ons:
-New clip-on style bars that were professionally drilled to fit stock wiring
-A genuine new-old stock (NOS) Honda headlight bucket (I accidentally cracked the original one when taking off the headlamp).
-Cafe-style headlight ears
-UNI pod air filters
As you can see in the pictures, the bike is in fact incomplete. In reality, it only needs THREE things to be finished:
1) seat pan re-upholstered
2) tank emblems painted and put back on (I have the originals and they have been stripped of their original paint) and
3) a set of rear tail/brake lights to be installed
For purposes of retaining the value of the bike, I kept all of the original parts--including the seat, which is in multiple pieces at the moment (I was trying different things to find the right look...still haven't really come up with anything...long story)--and they are included in the sale.
In my opinion, this bike shouldn't really be considered a "project." It is pretty much complete the way it sits, just needs a few finishing touches.
I started working on this bike back in June of last year and have been FAR too busy the past few months to do anything more with it. At this point, I have simply lost interest and am deciding to redirect my resources and efforts. I am not in any hurry to sell the bike, nor do I need the money--I simply wish to reclaim my investment.
If you are interested, reach out to me by responding to this ad. Please only do so if you are truly interested, have cash in hand, and are not willing to insult me with low-ball offers. I do have a clean Oregon title in hand. The price is somewhat negotiable, depending on circumstances. Call or text me at five zero three - seven five zero - eight seven four two if you are interested.
Thank you for looking!
