Hi there, I am new to the 450 site. I have a ´86 450 I have a 450 I purchased about 8 months ago, after it had been sitting in a carport for 10 years. Just got it running and cleaned. I have redone about 6 of the 450´s and am always looking to get another one to fix up. I have one I´m almost finished with but need a good chrome battery cover for it. I have fixed up a lot of these and have a good idea of how to fix a lot of things that go wrong with them. If anyone has a problem drop me a line and I might be able to help. Thanks jax
