Round II - '72 450 Restoration

It was nice & warm so fabricated some Air Bell brackets & air-brushed painted them.
Same color as frame etc...

ok...purists....dont get nervous...I put this 250 tank on to get her running. I plan to get the 450 tank restored/. I just want to ride her. I will post better photos later

she is running, even with the '250' tank...

new fenders, wheels, engine rebuild, superlaced SS spokes, axles replated, bolts replated, new sprockets, new handlebars levers & controls, carb rebuild, new SS chainguard, SS springs on exhaust & kickstand..frame up restoration. Gonna get the tank finished soon.... Geesh this started as a "rider"...LOL

Looks sharp, nice job!

mike,what repairs/refurb did your engine require ?

NFA... The engine needed new piston, rebore, bearings, seals, clutch plates, gears,..powder coat ..it was a total rebuild
