In this episode of Motorcycle Rewind, we're diving back into the restoration of our 1965 Honda CB450 K0 Black Bomber. We've got a lot on our plate today, and we're excited to share the process with you.
First up, we'll be putting on some brand new tires to give this classic ride the grip it needs. Then, we'll mount the exhaust system and get those iconic pipes looking and sounding great.
We'll also tackle the brakes, ensuring they're up to the task of bringing this beauty to a safe stop. And of course, rust removal is a big focus - we'll be scrubbing, sanding, and buffing to make the Black Bomber shine again without going for a full repaint.
Join us as we work to breathe new life into this vintage motorcycle, and follow along for tips, tricks, and plenty of garage fun. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on our projects!

I think it looks great! Keep it original. It's earned It's scars!

Looking good. As far as paint goes once something gets painted everything will need to get painted, or it will look off. I like how it's looking with the old paint. Very nicely done front fender.

I agree. It’s a slippery slope.
@donreed1133 Ай бұрын
Some sanding and cloud silver would be my vote on the fenders. Being painted fenders, filler could be used to bring the fenders back to look new again! That’s just me and my OCD kicking in - lol.

Loving it!! My vote is don't paint. Projects always take longer than expected. I'm just trying to get what little Iv removed back on (to paint frame) and focus on electrical. 🤙 Thanks for sharing Eric!!

This bike is responding nicely to a little attention. Can’t wait to ride it.

I think painting the fenders should be proportional to the rest of your restoration. Everything else is gonna look so good, might as well shoot on a coat of paint on them.
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
I agree. I am gonna have to see it on the road first.
@michaelmccann4706 Ай бұрын
If the rest of the silver parts came up as well as the front mudguard/fender then it would look fantastic. Overall so far the bomber is responding well to the elbow grease. Reminds me of Mr Miyagi in the Karate Kid "Wax On, Wax Off".
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
🤣😂🤣There is a lot of wax on, wax off going on. Thanks for watching.
@kenbowlus2995 Ай бұрын
It's looking great, Eric! I believe you said this is someone else's bike. If so, maybe ask them if they want it painted? That's obviously something you can't undo later. Personally, I'd paint the fenders and side covers black, and ride the wheels off that "black bomber."
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
I think it has a better story with a little patina. Thanks for watching.

I'd clean off some of that inner wheel rust best I can - and then spray on some Fluid Film, which stops rust and doesn't adversely effect rubber.

1965 - the year of my birth. If I wanted to own a motorcycle the same age as me, then this would be it. what's the state of the paint on the tank? if you paint the fenders then the tank might look drab in comparison - get such good tips from you watching you do this 👍
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
The tank is good original paint. Here is the link to the video where I polished it back up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdCJeriVmdvWn2Q.html

@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
The dents responded nicely to me beating in them. I agree about not painting the fenders. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate it.
@davekeehn8388 Ай бұрын
Paint or don’t. No real difference. However, you’ll need to protect the areas you treated for rust. Satin clear on the fenders and side covers. Whether you paint or not.
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
Agreed. Will be buffing and polishing then putting ceramic coating on them. Maybe I will do some clear first. That’s a good idea.
@MrAmartin8 Ай бұрын
If you slide the clutch lever mount on from the right side after removing the bars from the triple trees it should go on that is after removing the old one ... Should be easier than pulling the wires in and out of the bars ... Maybe ... Also I was amazed that the spokes were so nice . Did you do anything to them >>
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
I’ll give it a try. The spokes I just sprayed with the rust dissolver. I really like the stuff.
@donreed1133 Ай бұрын

@donreed1133 Ай бұрын
Love that rust resolver you’re using. Do you have to keep it off the paint?
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
I put it all over the front fender. I’ve found the only time it removes paint is when it gets the rust underneath it.
@rock-n-roll4865 Ай бұрын
if you can leave them unpainted do it. or if your like me once there painted then the rest looks like crap it becomes a total resto job. the problem is we love working on old bikes
@motorcyclerewind Ай бұрын
That is what I’m trying to avoid. I think cleaning will be good enough. Thanks for watching.

Only original once, clean and leave as is.

I’m curious Eric how do you reuse the Honda paper air filters? I’ve tried stripping the paper out and replacing with Honda air filter foam, but I’m not sure how much that affects the air flow to the carbs.

I normally replace them with foam.
