Hi there
My name is augustiron and I am a 450 DOHC nut.
I used to have cb450 parts stacked to the ceiling but I gave them away years ago as I thought I could give them up, but I have a project in mind for a custom and I need a titled frame, cheap/free/trade.
frame or partial bike : Cb450K1 or later, CB500T, CL450 needed, must have good title and no back fees. I have 2 other bikes I have to do the "no papers" dance with already, I have failed on one of them but will try again, I'd like to avoid that.
What for?
Picture a REAL CL450 scrambler, w/modern offroad suspension and bodywork...
Why?
I just bought a 2002 KTM MXC w/a blown engine and title issues, I want to put the complete KTM suspension on a modified CB/L 450 frame. I already have a completely rebuilt mint CL450 engine in my chopper I will use.
Other possible bad ideas are:
putting the single FCR carb on the twin
custom lightweight exhaust (CRF 250 dual mufflers under the tail)
?? tank
offroad style seat and bodywork
I know, sounds stupid for the power to weight ratio but what the hell. If I can get a good hookup, I will do my best to have this on the Sheetiron 300 this year.
so, anyone got one lying around? If BARF can hook me up I will even document the build here (something I have never been able to be patient enough to take the time to do)
