I pulled a walker. 🙂

Rode all my bikes in the order I acquired them. They all run friggen great. I love it. It’s weird switching between all the shifting styles.

74 Cb550: suicide foot clutch, ratchet hand shift  
93 Fatboy: traditional hand clutch/foot shift  
78 Shovelhead Turbo: suicide foot clutch, jockey hand shift  
59 Panhead: Rocker foot clutch (but it doesn’t stay disengaged like a normal rocker), jockey hand shift

I think the only one we had we cut up to use the bends in it for a seat loop. I’ll double check. Oh, @pirite may be willing to let his stock cb360 wheels sell with nearly brand new rubber since he has some upgrades in the works.

Anyone have stock cb450 foot pegs and shift/brake linkages?

CB450 has the kick stand built right in.

I’m going the scrambler route now and I already hacked apart my original foot pegs.

It’s pretty hammered but should be OK.

I REALLY need the foot pegs though. And the left side foot peg has the kick stand built in. With the rearsets I have on their now, I only have the center stand attached.

Yeah, i’ll probably go that route when ready.

With the engine needing work and some other stuff I want to do i’ll cross that bridge when I have to. It’d be awesome if someone local could just box it up and flat rate them, though 🙂
