I am selling my beautiful, one-of-a-kind 1973 Honda CB450 Restomod / Brat. The bike is the result of ~2 years of design, fabrication, engine-building, body and paint work. All the work except the engine re-boring was done by myself. Please click here for a video walk-around of the bike and a chance to hear it run. I've built and sold several other bikes. Here are some other links which hopefully help to demonstrate the time, quality, and care I put into this CB450 and all my builds: 1976 CB360 Cafe racer (sold)1965 CB160 Restoration (sold) Engine .50mm professionally-done over-borenew pistons and ringsnew gaskets and oil sealsnew stainless allen-head bolt kitcarbs rebuilt, synced, and adjusted for custom exhaust and K & N-style air cleanersFlat-black headers feeding into 12-inch "shorty" mufflers ~500 miles on the like-new engine since the complete rebuild Frame Unused tabs and brackets removedNew brackets fabricated and added for seat and rear fenderKicked-up rear hoopMoulded-in rear turn signal mountsBrakes / Suspension Drilled front rotor and rear brake panel Front brake switched to opposite side so it is behind (vs. in front of the fork tube.)
