***1968 CL450 KO One of the first 5000 made*** This two-owner bike was bought from the original owner-an older gentleman-who wore out before his beloved Honda did. A young man bought the bike from the original owner, I bought it from him. I was told the original speedo showed less than 5000 miles, why he didn't keep the speedo I'll never know! The kid I bought it from attempted some major performance upgrades but couldn't finish the job, I bought the bike from him and finished giving it what it needed. The following items are NEW or recent: New Mikuni Carbs with hi-flow filters (Re-jetted by a professional engine builder for optimum performance)New PAMCO Electronic ignition specifically designed for the CB450Starter clutch rebuiltOriginal seat re-foamedEverything dialed in so this baby starts and runs PERFECT New OEM Honda mirrors from Southside HondaNew rear tirePowder coated center-standFresh Candy Antares Red paint applied by Resurrections by RayNew side-cover emblemsLowered handlebars retro-fitted with all of the original switches intactNew plug boots and spark plugsI DO have all of the original parts that came off the bike if you prefer to return it to original-they will go to the winning bidder. All additional parts are in great shape! Parts removed from the bike include:Breather boxesHandlebars (Chrome is great and handlebars are not bent)Dual coilsPoints housingPointsOther miscellaneous partsThe end result is what you see here-an incredibly cool retro-sleeper that comes with all the parts to return it to original! This bike starts instantly with either kick or electric start, and screams to red-line without hesitation or even so much as a spit. This is the original engine that came in the bike and it runs quiet, strong, and smooth-especially when you twist the throttle and lay into it real hard. The pipes are beautiful, the frame is beautiful, everything works as far as electronics go except the horn. One tiny little chip in the paint . Touched up and barely noticeable. This is one BAD-ASS 450 that will always increase in value and is an absolute blast to ride. Look at the photos and if you have any questions you need answered, please ask!
