RE: 68 CB450 Rebuild with pictures
Success, the old bike fired right up without much fanfare. Like I never even had it apart. Actually it didn't start on the first try because the battery was low but after I charged it up it started no problem. A few more parts, recover the seat and I'll be waiting for the warm weather to get here for the first ride.

Very cool Mike. Glad she fired off right away. Got to feel good to do that yourself.

Congrats Mike. I know you must be anxious to get her out on the road.

RE: 68 CB450 Rebuild with pictures
Thanks guys, I always wanted to do something like this but thought it would be such a daunting project. It's had its moments but overall there wasn't anything overwhelming. The best and worst part is tracking down all the parts. There is so much available for these early Honda's. Give it a try.
