So I recently bought a 66 Black Bomber to restore and last week I just happened to find an engine for sale with good #'s as a replacement. I just picked it up today, it's 100% complete and in great shape, not seized, seems to have compression I'll check that soon enough. I double checked the #'s...

So I picked up my new project 1966 Black Bomber and started pulling it apart, but was abruptly halted when i couldn't get the bolts out of the air box cover. I know it's a hex bolt with a spacer sleeve that has a nut on the opposite side of the frame tab. I got the nut off easily (surprisingly)...

Just curious if Honda ever produced a cb450 in 1966 with colored "non chrome" fenders? I'm looking at buying a barn find and the fenders look like they've been painted possibly at least twice. they're a rust color with a red layer under the peeling top layer, maybe an etching primer??? Just...

I have a 1967 CB450 Black Bomber and it was missing the center stand when I purchased the bike. I’m now taking it apart for a restoration and found that the center stand is missing because the open loop brackets that are welded to the frame and hold the center stand are broken off. Someone...

Dear Honda Twins Community, Chris Saxby who many of you may already know from this Forum has been providing valuable guidance over the lockdown period on my restoration of a 1966 Black Bomber. During this time I have also acquired a 1968 'Red' Ken Ives Bomber with its original Leicester Plate...

Hi, '67 CB450K0 here, replacing my rear brake shoes and rear wheel bearings. Figured they're due for some work. Just have two questions about this. 1) I noticed there seems to be some grease that you can see leaking out of the bearing in one picture and onto the removed brake housing in the...

Hi all, My bomber needs a new crankshaft, and it seems to be a huge pita to find! I posted on the looking for parts sub already, but I was wondering if anyone here might know where i could try to look for one, as ebay seems to be fairly thin right now. If only the later crankshaft could fit my...

Hi there, new to the forum & to vintage restoration as a whole. Happy to find such knowledgeable folks whose brains I can pick ? My Uncle, who raised me, passed on unexpectedly & left me his old 67 Bomber. My Aunt is unsure if he even had a physical title or key for it anymore, much less where...

Hey everyone, I've been the owner of a black bomber for almost a year now but only got to take it out for the first time this season! Originally from Wisconsin I believe (at least first title I have is from 1976), it then ended up at a dealership in the UK where I got it, and got it shipped to...

Can anyone give me a good comparison for Regular/Rectifier options with a 66 and a 67 CB450 K0? 12 volt stock electrical system. And a new wiring harness will be put into each bike. One of the bikes has burned through 2 stators I believe. I’ve bought a used stator to try out, and thought an...

Hi Guys, I wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I live in Brooklyn, but I'm from Milwaukee, where I visit a lot. I have some old bikes there also. I've recently bought a cb450k2 1969 that runs nice, but the clutch is grabbing at the end. I ordered a new clutch plate and spring kit, so I'm...

Hi everyone — Here's the bike that I'm going to be working on over the summer. Goal is to get it running and slowly restore over the next year or so. I have re-installed a missing kick lever and determined that the engine is seized. The previous owner said he'd poured in some of that mystery...

I am selling my 1967 CB450D that I have been hoping to restore for over 23 years :-( I am moving and finally had to face the fact that I was probably never going to get a chance to bring this beauty back to show condition. Here's a link for all you Honda twin fans..... Exceedingly RARE 1967...

Hello Folks, Thank you for letting me join your group. I'm a new member from West Michigan and just picked up a 1966 CB450 K0 Black Bomber that I'm working on getting it in rideable condition. Hope to share my adventure with all of you. "Broom da Honda Honda" and we'll see ya next time.

Found this old 1966 cb450 K0 up north. Here are some pictures of its condition. Can't wait to ride it!!!!!

I picked up this CB450 K0 a couple years ago for just a couple hundred bucks from some guys that wanted to chop it. Offered them a couple thousand LESS than they asked and took it home. Granted the motor was seized and there was no title, I had leverage to negotiate ;) The plan has been to...
