1982 Honda CB 450 - Restoration Part 1 

Parts to keep it running are available and not too expensive. Used parts on ebay are like gold apparently.

Try to start with a good bike to work with. Then be patient and do one thing at a time...and do it well. Good luck and let us know how you do.

The CB450 is a very popular bike to make a cafe racer out of. However, I have never heard of one with a 10 speed tranny. $450 seems like a fair price for one in running condition. Good Luck.

Hello Justin, the answer is yes and no. It is running fine, speedo replaced, brake master cylinder and lever, gas cap and a few other odds and ends. As for the cosmetics, nothing has been done. Just got busy with other stuff and now we just bought a new house. Once we get the house remodeled and get moved in, I will probably get back to work on the Honda.

Great question, I applied for an abandoned title through Motor Vehicle. The last registered was sent a notification at the last known address. It took about a month, now I have a clear title. So, no worries.

Obviously not because the owner's manual as well as the model stamped on the bike says it is a CB.
