CL450


I Started to tear down my CL450 this weekend. I'm still waiting for a belt from J&P for the Sportster(cause they are dishonest scumbags), so I decided the stock Honda would look better in pieces on the ground. I had to extract every screw from the clutch cover because they were stripped (by me). It was almost funny, almost. I got inside the clutch and soon realized my problem. The clutch was not engaging enough, so it was not shifting correctly. I found the culprit, so hopefully I can find or make a piece to fix it. While the bike is apart I may as well change it up. I'm thinking Japanese all the way. I plan on taking my insperation from the Bratstyle bikes from Japan. It should be a fun little built.

A little more progress




Changed the paint yet again. Still waiting on a few pieces and parts.

Soon.....

I will be turning a 1971 Honda CL450 into something like this. I just have to fix the clutch issue.

I suck at taking pictures and I never take enough. 










                                      



This is the progress so far.

Fu Manchu - King Of The Road

This bike is cooler than your bike.

A little easy listening in the morning...



Gotta love it. Going to quite drinking from bottles now to do this.

Cafe Racer Tv.....

So.....I have high hopes for this show. More so than the bums at OCC and their American Chopper TV series. I hope this gets back to the roots of two wheels in England, describing the Mods vs. Rockers and how the police interfered and possibly the Legendary 59 Club. Also hope it shows the Ace Cafe in London. Set your DVR's and lets hope its worth a damn. Starts tonight at 8:00 on Discovery HD Theater.

In need of help.

I just rediscovered this picture on my phone and thought I would share. This beauty is pretty far gone, and unfortunately I don't have the workspace or the funds to get a project like this going. I just really like old vans.

Barn fresh

Down the street at a cool little bike shop I spotted this in the back corner. There it sat all alone and a little neglected. It is barn fresh and may be for sale (I'm keeping my fingers crossed).

P.S. I love Invaders.

Sorry I Partied

Saturday night at the Tattoo shop. Things can get weird.
