Slightly Modded – 1973 Honda CB450

In Japan, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

At first glance, this CB450 looks relatively stock, but it has an interesting amount of modifications that come together in a nice package.

For example, the tank is from a CB550, the tailight is a smaller unit from an earlier CB450, and the shocks are from a CB750 (they’re an inch longer). The sat has been shortened and reshaped, and the bars are CB400F replicas. The frame has been detabbed and there’s new paint across the board. According to the seller, the gauge cluster was replaced and actual mileage is around 5,400, not the 11,540 that are showing. I dig it – it’s different but in a subtle way. What do you think?
