    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

haven't thought much about it, perhaps in the future.

I get the feeling the 450s were more of a city bike, and not as popular back in the day, but now mine gets me lots of props

i think most people just used the 450's as starter bikes and then sold em dirt cheap for somethin bigger. hopefully over the winter i can get some work done to mine and make it look more modern.

EDIT: how does that exhaust sound on the 450? been looking for something to do with mine to get a lil more noise outof it so she looses her nickname "sewing machine"
 
At idle...it sounds like a lawnmower. At full throttle? It sounds very angry. On deceleration it pops a bit and there are some flames coming out here and there (I am a couple of jet sizes too big.)
