Honda CL description

This is a 1972 Honda CL450 K5 Scrambler that's been about half restored.  I've lost the title, but VINs match on the frame and engine.  

This is a project bike with lots of new parts that I just haven't put back together yet.  I don't know how I'd ship all of this, so it's probably best if you come to Madison, WI to pick it up.  I'm not sure how that would work, so I'm open to working with you on it.

 New parts already installed and on the bike now:
-New wheels: built at Buchanan's. 18" rims with stainless spokes. All balanced and trued at Buchanan's. 
-New Firestone Deluxe Champions; 18" 4.0. Not yet used. 
-Frame and swingarm powdercoated matte black 
-New springs on the back 
-New front and back sprocket 
-New chain 
-New brass swingarm bushings 
-New steering bearings 
-New tracker bars 
-New clutch and brake levers 
-New fork gaiters 
-Nickel-plated motor mounts 
-New carb boots


What's been done with original parts that are on the bike now:
-Rebuilt drum brakes
-Original front and back brake drums laced onto new Buchanan rims
-Engine runs and both cylinders test at a solid 150 lbs compression with no leaks
-Engine degreased and garage-cleaned (by me, I'm no professional, though)
-Heat shields removed and rusty mufflers removed; ready for baffles and pipe wrap/heat tape
-Seat is original and in great shape for its age. One or two little dings in the leather. No rips or tears.
-Tank and side covers have had paint stripped. Your choice to paint, clear or leave bare metal. Tank has a dent front right side.


New parts ready to be put on the bike:
-New gel battery 
-Bar end mirrors 
-Crush gaskets 
-Fork seals 
-Complete kit of connectors for re-terminating the wiring harness 
-New rectifier/regulator
-New clutch cable
-Brushed aluminum fork ears
-50 foot of grey pipe wrap

Plus I have all the old parts from the bike that will either go back on it.  I also have an extra swingarm, brass swingarm bushings, the old heat shields from the pipes and an extra (new) regulator for some reason I can't remember. 

Again, there's no title. The frame serial number and the engine serial number match, I just can't find the title.  The whole thing is yours for $1900 buy-it-now price.

I am not interested in parting it out at this time unless you want to buy the wheels/tires as is.

Stuck for a gift? Solution No3: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki or Kawasaki merchandise

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

After the excesses of KTM and Harley's gifts ranges, Hondas seems tame. But even the sober Japanese firm has a handful of oddities in its line-up. The Japanese have been accused of imitating in the past, and Honda's incorporation of a baby's dummy in its official accessories catalogue mimics KTM's 'Silencer-System Mini Pro'.

2014 WSBK – Misano Results

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

Kawasaki‘s Tom Sykes won both races at Misano to stretch his championship lead to 39 points as we pass the halfway mark of the 2014 World Superbike Championship. The reigning champion scored his third double-win round of the season while his teammate Loris Baz added a pair of second-place finishes. David Salom on the Kawasaki’s factory EVO entry was also the top rider in the new sub-class for both races to top off a strong weekend for the Team Green.

Honda CTX1300 Spotted During Film Shoot

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

Last month, we were one of the first to report on these leaked documents listing several upcoming Honda models, including one CTX1300. These images of the Honda CTX1300 were taken during the bike’s promotional filming on a motorcycle that looks to be production-ready. With a body style closely resembling that of the smaller displacement CTX700, the major, and most obvious, difference with the 1300 is the larger, 1261cc engine, believed to be sourced from Honda’s sport-touring stalwart, the ST1300.
