Fixin' 2 Ride Episode 2: Opening the Engines on Our "Failed Cafe Racer" CB450 and "Barn Find" CB200

In the first full episode of our Fixin' 2 Ride series we start off in the engines of our two bikes. Cleaning out all of the gunk, inspecting the internal components of the engine and switching those old brittle gaskets for fresh ones on our failed "Cafe Racer" CB450k5 and "Barn Find" CB200t is going to help us accomplish 2 key sides in our Common Motor triangle. Performance and reliability. We will be opening up clutch/ chain covers as well as the stator left side covers to inspect, clean out 15 year old spiders and inevitably smack our fingers a few times in the process.

About this Series:

The tale of two cycles. One a failed "cafe racer" project, the other a rusting "barn find," both are destined to ride again!
In our brand new "Fixing To Ride" video series, Common Motor's Jessi and Caleb picked up two Craigslist specials for about $500 each - a failed "cafe racer" project and an old "barn find."

Our plan is to turn them both into fully reliable daily drivers for under 1500 bucks each.
These two motorcycles are great examples of what you might come across when searching for your own Vintage Honda project bike. In this series, we'll walk you through everything we looked for in purchasing them, and the types of repairs and obstacles you might come across when you set out on your own quest to buy and fix up an old Honda to make it your reliable "daily driver".
