1972 Honda CB450 Cafe Project

I've been tinkering with the latest project, and '72 Honda CB450K5, which is on it's way to becoming a cafe racer. I rebuilt the carbs, and it is running much better now. After draining the tank, I found a bunch of rust and crap in the petcock and tank, so I am going to clean it out and coat the gas tank with the Caswell Epoxy coating I used on the Buell.

The front brake didn't work when I bought it, but I knew the master cylinder was stuck, so I ordered a replacement from eBay. The front caliper was completely stuck, I can NOT get the pad out...so I'm working on a replacement one if possible.

I found a great site for parts, Dime City Cycles, and plan to order parts from them tomorrow too!
