Honda CB description

Available now with a fresh tune up is this beautiful 1972 Honda CB450, built in the traditional Cafe Racer style. 

Starting with a 1500 mile 1972 Honda CB450 twin, this bike was rebuilt from the ground up. No bolt was left untouched and every mechanical portion of the bike was refreshed. 

Mechanically this is a mostly stock Honda so parts and repairs are easy.  The motor was refreshed and machined to a .025 overbore and NOS valves were added at the time of the build. 

Partial list of all the goodies added during the build, all top quality aftermarket, custom made and brand new NOS parts used. Sun Aluminum Rims ; carbon steel spokes ; All Balls wheel and steering bearings, Continental GO! tires ; MBW turn signals ; Bikers Choice flush mount fuel cap ; electronic ignition with Dyna ignition Coils ; LED lights all around ; Acewell digital gauge. 

Bike has been professionally tuned and runs great. A show stopper for sure, has won awards at every bike show and always turns heads on the street.


Google search "Joes lucky 13 cafe racer" for a link to the Do The Ton forum build and many articles about the bike written over the years.  Ebay wont allow direct links.

BSB 2012; Mystic Mac investigates

Tue, 03 Jan 2012

In my opinion, the smartest move in the BSB off season has to be Michael Laverty moving from Swan Yamaha to HM Plant Honda. With a ban on electronics for 2012, and in particular traction control, WFR's Graham Gowland has already proved to Laverty how competitive an EVO spec Fireblade can be - so I’m tipping both these riders to be bang on the money at the Brands Hatch season opener in April. Unlike BMW, Kawasaki and Yamaha, Honda have deliberately developed their road-going Superbike without electronics to give a user friendly feel with good mechanical traction, so it’ll be interesting to see how the opposition copes with their high-tech trickery stripped off.
