Installed new coils & wires

I Ok, so somehow I got the brilliant idea to get a new set of spark plugs & wires for the 72 cb450 & accidentally ripped the old wire off coil number 1. Then, stupid me accidentally did the exact same thing to the other coil. Now, I need new coils. I got an aftermarket set from Dime City Cycles out of Florida & got them quickly. The only bad thing is they don't mount like the originals. Because I am gifted in creativity & fabrication skills, I made custom mounts for the new coils. I got them installed & wired up.

Got my wheels back from powdercoating

Today, I was very happy to get my wheels & my brake rotor back from being powdercoated. It was very fast turnaround time, 2 days & they look great. I used Jackwagon Powdercoating (210) 459-3426. They did an awesome job & I highly recommend them.

Swapped out the carbs on the CB750


Today, we me & Trey Allen of Custom Honda Service & Parts 830-822-0205, swapped out the original carbs & installed a new set that was rebuilt & re-jetted by Cycle X in Wisconsin. Installed the new pod air filters & a MAC 4 to 1 exhaust. Still trying to figure out & finish the wiring. It's very confusing.

New CB450 to work on

Just got another project, a 1972 Honda CB450 & an extra parts bike. It was just shipped in from Vermont. They safely made the trip to San Antonio, TX. It was too good of a deal to pass up since CB450s are becoming scarce.





All of my bikes. I need to get rid of a couple.
