It is winter, I am bored, new project...
When it is riding season I enjoy my Interceptor 650 and it runs like a top. But there is nothing to tinker with except to check the chain.
But I get bored easily, I need a project.
So I bought this 1984 Honda CM450E. It has been sitting in a garage for almost 40 years.
I hope to bring it back to life without too much effort.
Wish me luck.

That won't take much to get on the road. Hopefully you're more disciplined than me...when I score something like that I almost always succumb to cafe'ing it. Slowly learning my lesson, though. The true stock clean survivors deserve to stay that way. Here's my last example of having fallen off the wagon....

Did a Black Bomber once which had stood outside for thirty years, luckily under a verandah.
Apart from a oil change, petrol, tires, battery and indicators which had melted in the sun the only other thing that needed changing was the brake shoes, which had been bonded with an adhesive which rotted the aluminum brake shoes!
Well, that got it sold, new owner might have done a bit more!
