CB 450 K1 ... Need advice
« on: March 31, 2018, 08:36:21 PM »
Just seen this add. Bike is a few miles from where I live.

Please have a look and give some feedback. What’s that front end?

CL450 bars with nasty black wiring on the outside,, later side panels and badges, later alternator cover. Could just be CL forks with no rubber gaiters, l don’t know.

Good price for a running CB450 though. I much prefer those tanks to the original humpback affair.

I might be selling my general export, UK spec, 1970, K1 in black. Highly polished both on engine, hubs, etc. Heated garage.  Not really for Winter riding!  Just for your info. The Bomber remains with me of course...

  Nige Barratt. Ps, won't be anywhere near that price!  :-\
