What happens if you restore an owner of vin comes back to get it? I fixed an abandoned old triumph car and notified owner on last vin an he wanted it back so I could not register it...
Great question, I applied for an abandoned title through Motor Vehicle. The last registered was sent a notification at the last known address. It took about a month, now I have a clear title. So, no worries.
The CB450 is a very popular bike to make a cafe racer out of. However, I have never heard of one with a 10 speed tranny. $450 seems like a fair price for one in running condition. Good Luck.
Hello Justin, the answer is yes and no. It is running fine, speedo replaced, brake master cylinder and lever, gas cap and a few other odds and ends. As for the cosmetics, nothing has been done. Just got busy with other stuff and now we just bought a new house. Once we get the house remodeled and get moved in, I will probably get back to work on the Honda.
I got a 1983 Nighthawk, it runs but it needs some TLC
We are watching to learn..don't fast forward..
Me and my grandfather are restoring one right now needs new gas tank and probably need to take the engine apart
Reproduction seat covers almost exactly like the oem one are available on eBay now. Been eye balling one for mine. I have an 85 and love it!
You sir are a lucky man. I have two 82's and I love em.

im in 2021 getting into stuff like this and thinking of restoring a beat up one. any advice?
Try to start with a good bike to work with. Then be patient and do one thing at a time...and do it well. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Can you still get parts for these?
Parts to keep it running are available and not too expensive. Used parts on ebay are like gold apparently.
did you finish the restore?

@@dennislawrence9826 I have a 450 cb Honda custom I'm working on just trying to get someone that's done it before to watch them
The cb 450 ended in 1974...
Obviously not because the owner's manual as well as the model stamped on the bike says it is a CB.
