I picked up a busted rear fender from the junkyard for $5. I cut it up with a hacksaw, then banged the shit out of my taillight mount until it was at about 120 degrees. Rerouted the wiring and voila! I still need to figure out what to do with the rear of the frame. I really don’t want to cut the frame up.

You are a very talented individual.
What was the original bike?

I still can’t believe you ride this thing around Phoenix in the summer. Great looking bike though.

I’m just scrappy. The really talented guys would probably think this was janky. It’s a ‘73 Honda CL450.

The design is really good and the fit and finish is great too.
The “really talented guys” use a ton of machinery and CNC, trust me you’re good.

This thing is easy to ride compared to my ‘66 GMC with no AC during the summer. It is a bit hard while idling at stoplights though. I need to screw with the carbs now that the weather has cooled off a bit. It’s sounding like snap crackle and pop are living in my exhaust on these cool mornings.

Yeah I do think I’d rather be on a bike than in a car with no AC in Phoenix in July. I find Phoenix in the middle of summer very similar to PA in the middle of winter when I was growing up: people are only outside if they have to be and are otherwise hiding in climate controlled buildings and vehicles. Except for the motorcyclists.

That’s looking really good. I need to get my (bike’s) rear end looking that fine.
