Hello,
I’m looking to start a bit of a vintage restoration project. I’ve bought a beaten up Honda CB450 and am aiming to restore it to its former glory. I love café racers and the Black Bomber is one of my all-time favourite bikes. I lived in Asia for a while and there are a lot of these old bikes around, which whetted my appetite.
Ultimately I want to end up with something that looks something like this:

It’s pretty far from that at the moment but I’m sure I can get the old rustbucket up to scratch. I’ve been looking at vintage bike stores online (http://www.for-sale.ie/honda-cb-450) but haven’t had much luck in finding good reconditioned parts so far. Does anyone have any pointers as to where to pick up good parts for a Honda of this type – either online or somewhere in the UK?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
