1968 Honda CB

CB45O-3OO6184

Clear

True 1968 Super Sport CB-450 KI silver tag model and not a '69 model. Original paint bike with original engine and correct 1 year only seat (needs recovered). Original double cut fender, mufflers and silver tag still on the bike! I picked this up a couple years ago and washed it down and got it running to asses the engine and transmission but never went beyond that except to install the handlebars and turn signals that came with the bike. The overall condition suggests this bike was stored indoors and the frame number is CB450-3006184 and the matching engine number is CB450E-3006220. Honda made about 8900 '68 model CB450 bikes and this small of a production run is similar to the number of Sandcast CB750 models produced so get classic bike style here for 1/10th the price plus you get all the classic bike future appreciation value during the time you own it. Because this bike hasn't been on the road in basically 40 years you'll want to do basic wake up maintenance before you go riding like lube the chassis, change the oil, change out the battery and check the wiring connections, etc. A deep cleaning and polishing will make this bike really stand out. If it were me I would get fork shrouds and new cables although these cables do actuate smoothly and release. I would polish the aluminum parts and source a new left muffler. The gas tank looks great inside with only light surface rust. No flaking, just a light sheen of surface rust. New fork seals are probably needed as the front wheel was dirty but that probably helped preserve the chrome so no complaints here. There is evidence of fall damage on the front fender tip and the tach has dimmer paint markings so I'm sure it was replaced after the accident. The rest of the bike looks like it came out ok except the brake pedal/cover damage. There is a shallow impression on the right gas tank side panel but that looks like it happened at another time. The mufflers are solid and clean with no road rash anywhere (left muffler has battery acid marks) and I'm sure the handlebars are not original because these look a little taller than stock. Miles are 15,210 and it comes with the OEM Honda key too. I started it again this year so it's a runner but it will need the normal carb cleaning and sync and the battery is dead. This CB450 was probably sold new in 1969 as it has a '69 spec tail light on it. I have a 1968 Honda taillight that I will include if you want it. I purchased this bike locally here in the Seattle, WA area and the green license plate was standard issue in 68 and 69 so this bike has probably been a Seattle bike it's whole life. Comes with a clean and clear Vermont registration title in my name and I guarantee you can transfer this title into your name and title this bike in your state-feel free to call me for details. Selling only because I picked up CL450 #10 and that bike now has priority. I already have a CB450K0 and a CB450 with some D kit parts so this bike is the one for sale:-( While I have described the bike to the best of my abilities, I am not a professional mechanic.
