1970 Honda CB

CL450

Clear

I just don't have time to ride all of my bikes, decided to let some go. This is by far one of my favorite bikes I have ever built. I have put only about 1,200 miles on it since I finished for the One Show in Portland 4 years ago. Bike has never let me down, it doesn't leak oil and can sit for months on the battery tender and fire right up. Super strong running, I put in a Barnett clutch, plates, springs and geared it up so it has tons of torque, it will pull the front wheel up with ease! I just did a service on it too, changed oil, cleaned catch can, adjusted valves and timing. I has been on all the popular sites like Bike Exif, Pipeburn, Cafe Racer XXX and many more, been to many shows and have won many trophies.3/5/2017 Update: I tried to run this in the Barstow to las Vegas, I rode 10 miles and realized I packed way too much heavy stuff in the ammo cans, I dumped it in the sand about 6 times, the tank has a chip, pegs have some scraped, still works perfect!Story on build:I haven't built a bike for myself in over 3 years. So after a horrible 2012 getting cancer again, doing chemotherapy, full body radiation and having a bone marrow transplant. I was aching to build something I have thought about for years and use the build as therapy while I was recovering to get back into the swing of things. Everyone knows me for building cafe bikes, well, I actually build motorcycles, any brand any model as long as they are from the 60’s or 70’s. I wanted to build something I could take off-road or jump off a curb and actually carry stuff with me when I ride. I bought the donor bike a few years ago and it was soo clean I was unsure if I wanted to even modify it. But being someone who can never leave good enough or perfect alone, I had to take it to the extreme. I was collecting many parts for the build over the next few years while it was just sat upstairs in my personal work area. I did a little mock up here and there over the years to dial in some of the parts I wanted to use. Then I started to spend every saturday just working on the fabrication. I basically had to assemble and build the whole bike as it was going to be finished before it was taken apart for all the plating and coatings. The 40 cal. ammo cans were custom mounted with 70’s Hondaline saddle bag mounts that I chopped up so they would come off and on easy. The exhaust had to mount under the left side ammo can and the rear suspension was a lot taller so custom gearing and clearance for the chain was needed. Every nut and bolt that I was using had to be accounted for and all the chrome had to be stripped before the zinc plating. After mock up everything went out to powder coating, yellow zinc plating, anodizing and paint. The ammo cans house solar panels from Goal Zero, they charge a flashlight and speakers form Goal Zero too and they charge my iPhone while I ride. They will charge anything with a USB port.

Bike is currently registered and I have the clear title in my hand, no funny paperwork! It does have a personalized plate on it, that does not come with the sale of the bike.On Mar-06-17 at 10:51:42 PST, seller added the following information: 3/7/17: The FU tail light is not on the bike anymore, it says "Stop" now. Sorry, the FU tail light is not included in the sale.On Mar-08-17 at 11:58:09 PST, seller added the following information: Video with the CL450 for Alpinestars https://youtu.be/knbQeNcqzB0On Mar-08-17 at 12:00:57 PST, seller added the following information: On Mar-08-17 at 12:34:54 PST, seller added the following information: Here is a walk around video of the bike in its current condition(3/8/17), the bike was built over 5 years ago and has barely been ridden, it mostly sits in my showroom on a battery tender with fuel stabilizer in it. But it is a "used" vintage bike. If you plan on riding it, stuff might pop up it needs, not sure if the oil seals will leak or ??. I can not predict what can happen, typically after bikes sit, the seals do leak, again, it is over 5 years old. It does run perfect right now, like I said before the LA to Vegas attempt I did the maintenance on it,adjusted valves, changed oil, cleaned filters, cleaned carbs, fresh gas. Here is a video of the bike starting and running! On Mar-09-17 at 08:17:28 PST, seller added the following information: Story on the build of this bike!
