I am almost done with my chop job, on my 78. My last problem is the gas tank. Mine doesn't fit the "new look" My fustrations comes from the channel of the...

Hi Linda, Sometimes they pop up on ebay but if you don't have luck there, try BikeBandit.com. I got one from them. Hope that helps. Rt1maillady Sue ... Try it...
Yes an original teardrop tank would work. Mine is the bulky one with hard angled lines. Do you wish to sell it? Also I have a headlight bucket from my 78 if...
I originally bought the tank this summer for my friends birthday. He has a 78 or 79 with that same tank you have. He had spray painted his own tank and it...

Hi, I'm new to this group but just got a 1982 450A about 8 days ago. It's in GREAT shape with only 5500 miles. Not a bad buy for $600. The reason for getting...
Hi Zac, Welcome to the group. I am sure you will enjoy your 450A. By the way, in view of your foot problem, I never use first gear. I just put it in second...
Zac: Welcome. It's good to hear from another So. Cal. Hondamatic rider. I've been commuting to work across W. Los Angeles for the past six months and loving...
Dan, I am not sure if keeping it in first gear, virtually all the time is bad, or not. It is true you will get faster acceleration from a dead stop in first...
Hah! I always suspected that the '400As were quicker "off the line" than the '750As - I agree with Ian though - there's no hard-&-fast rule about using either...
Hi Ian, I almost got a 750-A. How do you like it compared to your 400? Do you ride it more when you are going to be on the freeway? I was just worried that a...
Hi Zac, I thought I had a lot of vehicles, but you sure have more bikes than me. I have 3 bikes, but I do have some old cars. If you would like to see my...
I have never tried to see how fast my CB400A would go, but I think 70 MPH is probably top speed, or close to it. Perhaps some other group members can better...
My CM450A seems to go about 85 or so. I haven't gone wide open yet but I got fairly close. These bikes seem to be good for road trips of less than 150 miles...
