Thanks, Dennis. Always thought it (mine) was a CL. I have only seen one or
two SLs, and thought they were just tricked out CLs (or maybe CBs), not knowing
that they were a different configuration entirely. Where I was, they were
quite rare. Sounds like, from your description, that they were

Accidentally sent before I finished - the 6th gear, with the extra power or so
the displacement would indicate, are my reasoning for the conclusion in the
first half of my post...

I don't think it had more power. I think the sixth gear was more for gas
mileage and comfort on long rides.

Thank you. It was just a guess on my part. It is good to know, if I ever need
to use it.

The SL didn't sell very well, what with no electric starter and the seat too
short to carry two comfortably. Geared a bit too low for the interstate... Too
heavy to make a decent dirt bike, the only thing it did well was rip block to

The material is a polycarbonate. Don't use a Dremel or anything like that, it
can't take any heat and will burn. I refinished my gauges starting with 600 wet

gauges. I'm sure there might be better stuff, but that's what I

Dennis - did you know about Meguiar's lens cleaner, like for headlights? It
may have been a lot quicker. I have used my buffer and fine (machine) cut
cleaner and the yellow wax and cleared up many a lens on cars I have detailed.
I think they are polycarbonate also.

I know they make a lot of neat stuff. I use one of their products to remove old
wax and it works great. I'll look for the lens cleaner. My wife's Volvo
headlight covers are terrible. The spray stuff for refreshing a wax job is neat
too.
Not all stores have all products. The gauges turned out go

As a detailer, here's a question for you, which is harder to keep up (looking
good) a black car or a white one ? IMHO, a black one gets dull faster but a
white one gets dirtier faster. I've had both (have two black ones now) and in
this part of the world with all the salt and dampness, I think t
A black one will show the dirt faster than a white, but you are right: in the
north where there is all the salt and snow, and it's likely to stay inside of
the panels, black paint will cause the innards of doors and fenders to dry out
faster than white.
Then, of course, it would make more sense
It's real, you can find videos on youtube. They may have the power to haul a

So are you saying it'll run better if I put the airbox boots back on?

Absolutely. The air should be coming into the airbox, through the
carb boots to the carbs - no short cuts

the cable on your 450 goes from the tach to the port on the R side of

I went and bought a bottle of Meguiar's PlastX to use on the gauge covers.
Applied it a few times with a rag and things weren't moving fast enough for me
so I rubbed it in with some 800 grit paper and within a couple of minutes it
went from literally not being able to see the gauges to seeing
The turn signal stays have a center code of MJ1. That indicates they were first
used on a 700S. Have they been used on any others since? Don't know. My Sabre
mounts are not the same.

Hi, my name is Eric I live in Hamilton Ontario Canada, I have recently
bought my first motorcycle, proud to say it's a cb450sc nighthawk!
Anyways my question/concern is this, if I put on a different
exhaust will I have to tune the carb./airflow to accommidate?
(wanting to build custom exhaust)
I have a stock set for the 700s, but I prefer after market smaller
cersions...
