| The CB450 was Honda's first full sized bike when it was released in the mid 60's. . It
has an unusual DOHC 2 cyl. engine with torsion bar valve springs.
I purchased this bike for $30. It was a low mileage original bike that had been mistreated in it's life. The engine was frozen. These pictures were taken before the restoration: |

| A used rear fender/taillight assembly was located to replace the missing parts and the
damaged shocks were replaced. The motor was removed from the frame to repair the frozen
cylinders. The bike was completely dissasembled and the frame powder coated, nuts and bolts were polished or replaced. This is what the bike is supposed to look like: |
