1972 Honda CL450 Unregistered US Import Barn Find Classic Restoration Project Manufacturer: Honda Model: CL450 Year: 1972 Engine No: CL450E-5012788 Frame No: CL450-5012757 Colour: Red Mileage: 15730 Capacity: 445cc Starting at: £999.99 Stock No: 89952 This very smart looking 1972 CL450 Scrambler has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. We have been unable to confirm this mileage reading. Please disregard it. The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........ As you can see this bike has few parts missing, but there is a seat hinge absent, and the front mudguard, is in two halves. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS......... The wheels look straight with chrome rims, but the rear is pitted. The forks and yokes look straight. The tail light assy is good as are the headlight and bowl. Instruments and switches look okay but the indicator switch is a bit dodgy. The non standard paintwork is quite bright and solid, fuel tank is grotty inside. The seat base is in solid condition. The indicators are tidy. The chain guard is tidy. The rear mudguard is solid. The standard exhaust is bright and solid. The engine is cosmetically clean, and cranks over on the kick start. We have had it firing/running on easystart spray but the fuel system & carbs will need attention. If you are ready for a new project and have been looking for a classic CL450 scrambler to restore then look no further – THIS ONE COULD BE YOURS!!!
