1982 Honda CM450A Build/Mod

[dragtheriver]

Got a great deal on this bike. Engine is super clean, but had to clean the carbs and put new jets in. Took it to Kevin at Moto Chop Shop in Van Nuys, CA for some mods. He does great work and I'm super happy with what we've done so far.

Before :




After :





He painted the tank, side covers, put some Z bars on with Bottle grips from dimecity cycles. Probably going to lower it, get a bratstyle seat or maybe a solo seat. Thinking about bullet turn signals and powdercoating the wheels flat black. You guys have any ideas? Great cruisin' bike.

Another piece of the 80's died when that paint went.

I like the old paint better. At least the rest of the red and white accents stayed.....

I don't believe they are the Biltwell ones, but they are super similar. He had them in his shop and offered them to me when I was asking about what Z bars he had.

The old paint was definitely cool, just not me.
