Making Progress on the 1965 Honda CB450 Black Bomber #motorcyclerewind #vintagemotorcycles #cb450k0
In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we're diving back into the restoration of our 1965 Honda CB450 K0 Black Bomber. We've got a lot on our plate today, and we're excited to share the process with you.
First up, we'll be putting on some brand new tires to give this classic ride the grip it needs. Then, we'll mount the exhaust system and get those iconic pipes looking and sounding great.
We'll also tackle the brakes, ensuring they're up to the task of bringing this beauty to a safe stop. And of course, rust removal is a big focus - we'll be scrubbing, sanding, and buffing to make the Black Bomber shine again without going for a full repaint.
Join us as we work to breathe new life into this vintage motorcycle, and follow along for tips, tricks, and plenty of garage fun. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on our projects!

A Bag of Sand as a Base helps with Planishing Dents out...

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Every time do this I think I need to get one. 🤣😂🤣

@mflres43 Месяц назад

I think it looks great! Keep it original. It's earned It's scars!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

They tell its story. Thanks for watching.

@yomommaahotoo264 Месяц назад

The bling treatment is coming along awesome.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Its the little things that make such a difference

@ungarsdanslegarage8659 Месяц назад

Please do a rustoration ! Looks great already!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I agree. It is responding to the elbow grease.

@chuckdeyo291 Месяц назад

Looking good. As far as paint goes once something gets painted everything will need to get painted, or it will look off. I like how it's looking with the old paint. Very nicely done front fender.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I agree. It’s a slippery slope.

@yomommaahotoo264 Месяц назад

Finally got a day to take the klr out so I'll have to tune in later.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

enjoy your ride

@yomommaahotoo264 Месяц назад

I think painting the fenders should be proportional to the rest of your restoration. Everything else is gonna look so good, might as well shoot on a coat of paint on them.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I agree. I am gonna have to see it on the road first.

@Turleyswheels Месяц назад

oh so much better i think you’re right do enough to save but not over do it that’s up tooo new owner what you do is give it life ❤

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

This one is coming along nicely. Thanks for watching.

@kevinrein7853 Месяц назад

Leave em like they are I like to preserve over restore good job.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I am a preserver. Although I appreciate a good restoration. Thanks for watching.

@mikejacobs9657 Месяц назад

I love that old stuff! Nice to see that it's un molested!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I like to keep original paint whenever I can. Thanks for watching.

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

Some sanding and cloud silver would be my vote on the fenders. Being painted fenders, filler could be used to bring the fenders back to look new again! That’s just me and my OCD kicking in - lol.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

😂🤣😂 my OCD would kick in and the snowball would start heading downhill.

@marchettejw Месяц назад

you know things are serious when you break out the foam brush.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I love a little foam brush action. Thanks for watching.

@yomommaahotoo264 Месяц назад

I'd clean off some of that inner wheel rust best I can - and then spray on some Fluid Film, which stops rust and doesn't adversely effect rubber.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Have to lokk for some of that

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

I like the way you work Eric. I would have probably spent a day on each fork leg. No wonder it takes me forever to restore a motorcycle!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Yours probably look a lot better than mine. 🤣😂🤣 thanks for watching.

@michaelmccann4706 Месяц назад

If the rest of the silver parts came up as well as the front mudguard/fender then it would look fantastic. Overall so far the bomber is responding well to the elbow grease. Reminds me of Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid "Wax On, Wax Off".

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

🤣😂🤣There is a lot of wax on, wax off going on. Thanks for watching.

@donnydenfeld2394 Месяц назад

I think I'd leave them like they are. I love patina

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

It fits the bike. Thanks for watching.

@StringFelow Месяц назад

Looks good as is

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Definitely coming around. Thanks for watching.

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

Mufflers and wheels looking great!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Came out so good.

@MaryK4242 Месяц назад

Loving it!! My vote is don't paint. Projects always take longer than expected. I'm just trying to get what little Iv removed back on (to paint frame) and focus on electrical. 🤙 Thanks for sharing Eric!!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

This bike is responding nicely to a little attention. Can’t wait to ride it.

@donley8416 Месяц назад

Look great

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

It is coming along nicely. Thanks for watching.

@cerealtiller Месяц назад

Have found that Baking Foil and Coca cola cleans Rust from Chrome Pretty well just Scrunch up the Foil into Ball

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I am gonna have to try this one day. Thanks for the tip.

@michielbergman6202 Месяц назад

leave it like they are!!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

This guy is going to be ridden. So I think it’s better preserved than restored. Thanks for watching.

@RobertAdams-wd6pt Месяц назад

I would just leave them like they are

@Titan500J 29 дней назад

My vote is yes paint them🙂

@motorcyclerewind 29 дней назад

Thanks for watching.

@MarcoBrandsen Месяц назад

You must leaf them as they are now because its prety nice now

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

It is looking really good.

@kenbowlus2995 Месяц назад

It's looking great, Eric! I believe you said this is someone else's bike. If so, maybe ask them if they want it painted? That's obviously something you can't undo later. Personally, I'd paint the fenders and side covers black, and ride the wheels off that "black bomber."

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I think it has a better story with a little patina. Thanks for watching.

@user-ss1iy3xv5b Месяц назад

Paint the fenders!

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Thanks for watching.

@sjv6598 Месяц назад

Those dents came right out! Don’t paint the fenders, it’ll stand out too much 😊

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

The dents responded nicely to me beating in them. I agree about not painting the fenders. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.

@davekeehn8388 Месяц назад

Paint or don’t. No real difference. However, you’ll need to protect the areas you treated for rust. Satin clear on the fenders and side covers. Whether you paint or not.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

Agreed. Will be buffing and polishing then putting ceramic coating on them. Maybe I will do some clear first. That’s a good idea.

@timparker9235 Месяц назад

1965 - the year of my birth. If I wanted to own a motorcycle the same age as me, then this would be it. what's the state of the paint on the tank? if you paint the fenders then the tank might look drab in comparison - get such good tips from you watching you do this 👍

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

The tank is good original paint. Here is the link to the video where I polished it back up. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GjYGUd4uro0.html

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

I always seem to need to beat on the old axles using PB Blaster and a lot of hammering! 😢

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I was walloping this axle.

@MrAmartin8 Месяц назад

If you slide the clutch lever mount on from the right side after removing the bars from the triple trees it should go on that is after removing the old one ... Should be easier than pulling the wires in and out of the bars ... Maybe ... Also I was amazed that the spokes were so nice . Did you do anything to them >>

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I’ll give it a try. The spokes I just sprayed with the rust dissolver. I really like the stuff.

@rock-n-roll4865 Месяц назад

if you can leave them unpainted do it. or if your like me once there painted then the rest looks like crap it becomes a total resto job. the problem is we love working on old bikes

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

That is what I’m trying to avoid. I think cleaning will be good enough. Thanks for watching.

@CliffordDavies Месяц назад

Only original once, clean and leave as is.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

That’s my preference as well. Thanks for watching.

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

Love that rust resolver you’re using. Do you have to keep it off the paint?

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I put it all over the front fender. I’ve found the only time it removes paint is when it gets the rust underneath it.

@stuartdivebum Месяц назад

Use the old Mount, just change the lever?

@MaryK4242 Месяц назад

1:25 looks broken where you attach / adjust the cable.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

That’s right, it is broken.

@donreed1133 Месяц назад

I’m curious Eric how do you reuse the Honda paper air filters? I’ve tried stripping the paper out and replacing with Honda air filter foam, but I’m not sure how much that affects the air flow to the carbs.

@motorcyclerewind Месяц назад

I normally replace them with foam.
