Honda CB450 custom cafe racer

There are many caf? racers on eBay. This one isn't just a fiberglass tank/tail and some upside-down handlebars. It debuted at the June. 2009 Chicago Mods vs Rockers show. winning Best Custom Caf?. It was featured on a full page of Caf? Racer Magazine (page 74. October/November 2009 issue) and it was selected for the 2014 Progressive International Motorcycle Show (Chicago). If you value real upgrades like aluminum rims. electronic ignition. and upgreaded bearings and bushings throughout. then this is the caf? racer for you. Complete tear down. brackets and centerstand removed. seat loop and rearset mounts welded. then powdercoated textered silver-grey. Steel tank and tail (BCR--custom to my specs) painted tuxedo black with white number plates and tank scallops outlined with silver stripes. Headlight bucket with internally mounted speedometer. Custom. genuine leather seat. BCRpolished stainless custom "pea shooter" exhaust--very first set for the CB450. Freshly serviced CB500T motor--valves adjusted. carbs cleaned. new regulator/rectifier. Starts instantly and runs great. New 32mm Mikuni carbs with individual K&N filters. Newtronic electronic ignition. Finned aftermarket stator and points (electronic ignition now) covers. POLISHED; cam. points. and other engine covers. front brake caliper. fork lowers. top triple (after grinding down the handlebar mounts). stock contol switches. and anything other aluminum I could find. Fully functional headlight. tail/brake light. and license plate illuminator. No turn signals--not required in most places. but the wiring is still intact and tucked under the tail and inside the headlight bucket. It will need a rear view mirror of your choosing. New Hagon shocks. Forks rebuilt with new upper fork tubes. fresh seals. preload spacers. and custom fork caps with preload adjusters. New 18 inch aluminum rims and stainless spokes. Crossdrilled brake disc and braided stainless brake line. Bronze swingarm bushings. Tapered head bearings. New Shorai battery relocated under the tail. Vortex aluminum clip-ons. Tarrozi rearsets. 520 Chain conversion with custom aluminum rear sprocket. Hardware replaced with stainless everywhere possible. The tail was recently dropped while off the bike and has a chip in the paint. which I'm having my painter look at right now. Why am I selling? I have 8 bikes. I'm trying to pare it down to 5 or 6 and I have another project I'd like to start. On Apr-12-15 at 19:33:51 PDT. seller added the following information:I just noticed that it says 1976. This is a 1971.
