CMC Bike Tours: Albert's 1972 CB450K5

A great side effect that comes along with being apart of the vintage motorcycle community is the skills you learn in fixing the motorcycle along the way. Whether you like it or not if you own a vintage motorcycle sooner or later you will find yourself, wrench in hand, learning something. The passion for wrenching has become so prevalent in the past ten years that it is not just riding that is growing our community anymore but the wrenching as well. That is exactly how Albert found himself on the back of this beautiful CB450K5 he rebuilt. After hunting down his CB450 way up in Michigan, he ended up as one of the first shop members for CMC way back when it first began and learned to ride, wrench and weld just off of this bike. Tools and knowledge are more accessible than ever to keep your vintage Honda motorcycle running and it creates invaluable knowledge for your bike and yourself.
