I did extensive research to find the history on these motorcycles.
This one, as far as I know, is the only restored Red Dragon Honda 450 in the United States! I purchased this bike about 8 years ago. When I went to work on it, I noticed there was red paint underneath the black paint. I sanded down every spot on the bike down to the original
red paint. (I have many photographs and videos) I even found original red paint underneath the bottom steering race when I removed the races and bearings. I initially thought that the CB450 may have come in all 4 colors that Honda provided in the 1960s: Black, red, white, and blue.But that was not the case.
I found that the US market had only black bombers, the European market had a mix of black and red, white was only for the police CB450 models, and blue was never produced by the HONDA factory. I have a factory Honda parts manual for police and black bomber CB450's and they only came in 3 colors: white, black, and scarlet red. once I establish that honda actually made red ones I disassemble
the entire motorcycle for restoration. All parts removed from this bike were either repainted, re-chromed, polished replaced with OEM parts or refurbished. This was a long restoration project.
I never intended to have this bike for sale, it was for my personal collection.

This is a 1971 TR6 Tiger with only 8565 miles.
I have a clean and clear title for the bike. The bike does run and drive excellent. It shifts through the gears great, the brakes work and all of the electrics work. The battery was replaced 2 months ago. The tires were replaced in 2015 and have barely been used. The paint has a few blemishes but
is overall in great shape. The chrome also looks very nice. The bike is all original is in very good condition. It comes with the owners manual and tool kit.

Restored, 1941 Harley-Davidson FL (1st year for the 74 cu.
in. Knucklehead motor)The frame, motor, transmission, complete rear wheel, brake system, and a few more parts are all from original bike. What is not original: The cloth wiring harness, coil, horn, right side gas tank, battery ( It is a 6 volt looking original case, but has a 12v Battery
inside it). The system was changed to 12 volt in 1982 after I made a trip to the smoky mountains. The system is made to look like a 6 volt system down to the generator, has a model 32E tag on it. Another difference, the primary system is belt driven instead of the chain (that was changed in the 80's also).
I have the 6 volt generator (it was chrome platted in 79/80, same with all the parts) It should still be good. The springer front end is NOS. Friend of mine bought it in 1982 from a Harley dealer, new, never used or mounted (still has the Harley ID tag on the neck, I put clear tape over it so the grease wouldn't hurt it. It is still on the neck) the handle bars, spirals, etc. came from him also. The speedo is a reconditioned (same as new, all Stewart-Warner parts used in the repair) all Original speedo.
