cb450 cafe racer build

[@CamerOneiric]

Awesome work for very little mods. I like the original chrome fender look too. My uncle just gave me his CB450 and I’m looking forward to working on it come winter time.

[@georgebone23]

Beautiful build!! I'm doing a 1973 cb450 now. Thanks for the video. 🙏🇺🇸💪❤️

[@novaman320]

Thank you George I did this 5 r years ago and still go out for a joy ride with it . You will love your whim it’s done .

[@granth2631]

I'm looking at comments from 5 years ago and the bike looks as cool now as it will in another 5 years time. Stand back and admire how cool this has turned out. You should be proud of your achievement, it's a very special bike.

[@novaman320]

Thanks for the positive review. The bike still looks the same today except for new mikuni carbs . It runs even better now

[@joedeleon3435]

brother I got to tell you you have done one hell of a job on this cb450 the before and after pictures are like night and day difference, it's hard to believe you made that beauty out of that old snoter of a bike, I will say it again.. one hell of a job brother! Enjoy her and be safe

[@elmerhorval294]

thanks for posting. I just bought a 1973 450 dohc. That pumped me up!

[@Richard-xu4cj]

Beautiful! You have upped the game.

[@tghtaclegend]

Very nice and clean. Did you custom build the seat, or did you buy somewhere?

[@novaman320]

Thanks 95 The swing arm bolts in with no modifications. It's not any wider . The slot in the swing arm needs to be enlarged slightly . The cb 450 Axle is of a larger diameter. It's not hard to do .

[@johnrileyi1164]

Bike looks great good job.

[@novaman320]

Thanks

[@novaman320]

Thanks Andrew you have to grind out were the axle goes through the swing arm. Cb450 axle is a larger diameter. Otherwise it bolts right in, the bolt were it goes through the frame is the same . 1/2 hour job

[@snowinokinawa]

Hi Marty, I absolutely love the chunkiness of those clip-ons! Are you able to tell me their Brand or which shop in California they came from please? Thank you

[@thelongboarddude95]

Wow! This bike has class! I'm building one out of a 350 right now. May I ask what kind of modifications you had to make for the 360 swingarm? It's wider isn't it?

[@larsonan]

Marty it looks great! nice work. Appreciate the video. Question about the swing arm, it that an easy swap from the 360? or did you have to modify anything? - Andrew

[@Ian_in_an_ocean]

Beautiful bike! You have done an incredible job! I really like the LEDs in the old handle bar clamp holes. Can you tell me where I can find those? I was wondering what I could put in there instead of getting a new triple clamp.

[@martinmelanson6111]

Thank you for the kind words . I purchased two plastic pipe end plugs from Lowe’s hardware section . The led lights were inexpensive 12volt pieces that came from eBay. Pushed the plugs into the holes drilled the plastic . Thanks again

[@Ian_in_an_ocean]

Martin Melanson ah! I see. Thank you. So much.

[@felineth56]

Awesome bike!

[@pukhkaSacCityCycles]

may i suggest using any 2k paint to paint the engine it holds up better than any vht paint! btw the bike is gorgeous!!! Great work

[@cwbresson]

Awesome job! Can I ask where did you get the clip ons and the fork bridge? That looks super cool!

[@novaman320]

Nugraha Pratama The clip on bars came fro a seller on eBay made in California I believe. The upper fork clamp is the original one that I polished and clear coated. Thank for the compliment.

[@G_MOG_44]

Hi Marty, nice resto-mod, I'm headed the same way with my '72. The 360 swingarm and 11" shocks have a nice effect. Did you lower the front as well, and how much?

[@decadantdog4444]

Some Akron rims would look nice.

[@byrondorchester5320]

Hey Marty, you've done well sir. Sounds awesome. What are you going to do with it?

[@novaman320]

I built it for my wife. I'm hoping she can ride it if she can't then I will ride it to work and back once and a while. Thank you I'm glad you like it

[@NOTAFULLUN]

Really nice.

[@novaman320]

I didn't make the seat myself . It is very well made ,its from hot wing glass

[@brisnbetsinher5065]

very beautiful. you have skills. enjoy . I wonder what is the new project going be?

[@novaman320]

Thank you very much. My drag car kept me busy last winter. I need to fix the blinkers and horn on the cb450. I also want to do a carburetor up grade .
