thats good to know just looking at the cb 450 the angle looks like a longer reach to me.Just eyeballing it the angle looks more like a touring bike and I was thinking about that and how to change it .I even thought of cutting the frame to change angle(in my mind )but then I noticed my other bikes have different fork widths and tree configurations and decided it wasnt as simple as just changing the angle.And decided Id have to buy some bike chassis/frame books to investigate deeper into it. But on my building theory "if it looks wrong" "It probably is" the angle of the cb 450 looks alittle bit off from a quick steering bike.
Forking crazy
hey JD on your bike and I have seen it on a few other kick ass bikes.
Your forks are above the tree.Did you fit a brand that has more travel or is it the stock forks and you lowered the front end .Im not up to speed with this activity of forking around.So please enlighten this fork-hopper.
And stop forking around all of you!
