1968 CL450 K0 - light recomission
JamesH:
Finishing touches applied this evening, and she’s running beautifully and just needs the number plate fitting and a fresh tank of Esso 99+.
Very pleased with how she’s turned out.
Next update will be a road test report when the weather / work commitments permit.
taysidedragon:
She's a beaut! I love it. 👍
Nurse Julie:
That looks lovely James.
MrDavo:
Looking good, if I didn’t already have one, I’d want one now!
I see what you mean about the seat, the cover texture is much better than my copy, but it has a deflated look to it. I also notice I can no longer be smug about my tank badges having the ‘450’ on them, as now yours have too! Where did you find them? Mine came from California via France, a long story.
Of course Menno’s candy paint looks spectacular as always, as does my blue version.

Thanks Dave. The seat is firm as f**k on my backside, so I think I’ll have to source a new foam and fit that at some point.
The tank badges are I suspect repro’s - I bought them back in 2018 from a seller in the states I think..can’t recall who though. Was on eBay I think?
Will report back after the first road test - I’m determined to ride/use this one.
Big thanks to Menno for the superb paintwork done back in 2017/18..still as good as new.
