Tires - Honda CB450 - Cafe Racer - Part 7
Переглядів 1,7 тис.3 роки тому
Back to work on our Honda CB450 Cafe Racer Project. In part 7 of the series I try, and ultimately fail, to mount a set of Dunlop D404 tires on the stock rims of our Honda CB450. Unfortunately, after numerous attempts I was unable to get the rear tire to fully seat on the rim. Not every step of a build goes to plan and this was no exception.

Missing Welch Plugs 1974 Honda CB360G
Переглядів 7373 роки тому
For some reason the welch plugs on my 1974 CB360G carburetors are missing. A very observant viewer pointed it out and noted that it could be causing a lean condition. I managed to source some replacement welch plugs and in this video I'll show you how I installed them.

Brake linkage return spring follow-up and rearset mounting plate fabrication. Progress has slowed a bit due to the cold weather and general life interruptions but I did manage to get the return spring sorted out for the rear brake pedal and I made a pair of mounting plates from 1/4" steel plate. #cb450 #caferacer #rearsets

In this video I install an 88cc "big bore" kit on my 1982 Honda C70 Passport in an attempt to squeeze a little bit more power out of this awesome little motorcycle. I also make some fuel mixture and jetting changes to compensate for the larger combustion chamber volume. #c70 #bigbore #jetting

    You never adjusted the GAP on the right point after you adjusted gap on left point! Gotta adjust BOTH gaps to spec before you set the timing. Why did you not check and adjust right point??

    This is the correct way, Great instruction. Gap matters! Adding some heat-shrink tubing to your screwdriver shank or Allen key is some added protection from shorting if you forget to turn off the key.

    Hello Michael, just came across your videos on the CB77 restoration. Very good work! I got a 1965 Honda CB72 for christmas from a godd friend and it needs also restoring. In this episode I see you soldering thes bullet connectors to the wiring loom. Where did you get them? I only have the crimp on connectors ans serached for the ones you use without finfing them.

    I had a friend who had one of these. His dad was a Harley racer in Ohio, and bought it for him at Reiser's Harley Davidson. Originally it was kept in Ohio, but my friend wanted to race where we lived in West Virginia. In West Virginia we do Motocross and hill climb. So, after his old man heard he wanted to race, he brought the bike out, he even put a fiberglass race seat on it. I gotta tell ya, this bike was no motocross bike, but Rodger was determined! The Harley was no match for the Yamaha MX125s, Pentons, Maicos, Rickmans, etc., of 1972. He made is one and a half laps before crashing and giving up. He might have done better on the Baja 100 of the time as it was more suited, but I doubt it. My friend did become a professional racer under the tutelage of his father, even racing in the Grand Nationals. 👍 A nice little bike, but not a market competitor at the time.

    Thanks for sharing your insight on this topic Michael- was considering same for my Passport also, but now think I'll just rebuild a CT110 (Trail 90 derivative) and pop it in. Mine was great when I lived at sea level in coastal Monterey, but now in the mountains at 7350 feet elevation, she doesn't quite have the spunk she used to. Yours is an absolutely pristine example- enjoyed the video.

    The 1N4001 might not be enough for some motorcycle electricals that could draw more than 1A of continuous current. It is better to use a 6A10 diode with a forward current rating of 6A.

    Maybe you can help me out on paint. Do you have the paint code and name of the color of your bike? I am having a REALLY hard time trying to find it. Everyone says "VMR Paints" but VMR has no colors shown or better yet pictures of finished examples associated with their paint codes. Tanks are sold in India with that exact color, but they don't sell the rest of the painted parts for matching. Granted, I would prefer to re-paint my original parts anyways...

    Hi. As far as I see after you install the bigger cylinder you got to go with a higher flow exhaust and higher flow bigger carburetor, and also you need bigger valve head with the valve.

    I de-restricted the exhaust on a day 1990 Honda elite 49cc 2-stroke. Whatever the power I expected to gain - say it was 10% more - I enlarged the main jet hole diameter by the square root of that, assuming that the flow through it was related to the square of the diameter. So for a 10% increase of fuel, I increased the diameter by like 3%. It worked great. That bike was indestructible, well except I broke the rear suspension twice from jumping the scooter. Easy fix and the bike performed for me then my friend for years of abuse.
