2021 update \u2013 click here. Below is deprecated info\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n I’m dubbing this the ‘cb475’.<\/p>\n I’m all finished and it runs fucking awesome!<\/p>\n I had lost interest with this cycle, but now I’m psyched on it again.<\/p>\n I’m super pumped on how smooth this engine swap went. Biggest difference I notice is how much tighter the tranny is. Apparently this is one problem on the 450’s that they upgraded and fixed for the 500t. I notice the difference, no questions about it.<\/p>\n cb500t – boom.<\/p>\n Cut the tail-light mounts off. Fuck that shit.<\/p>\n Removed my starter. Kick start only now. Don’t ask how I plugged the hole… It’s a bit south philly ghetto. ha. We’ll say a huge washer and JB weld was involved. ha.<\/p>\n Upgraded to modern fuse.
\nPretty sure there aren’t many cb450’s with 500t engine’s around, so I feel good about this.
\nI’m gonna go ahead and say it’s a little faster due to the 50cc more and the extra torque.<\/p>\n
\nAs I said earlier… my wiring is super streamlined now.
\nI only have 1 switch. The bike is on or off. No other electrical shit at all. Minimal wiring is cool. Thanks to Adam for the help!<\/p>\n
