CB450 K0 Side Stand Mounting Lug [SOLVED]

Crady

Guest
Could someone please provide photos and dimensions for the side stand mounting point on a CB450 K0? I need to fab a replacement and unfortunately have no reference to work with (I knew the bike was missing its side stand when I bought it, but I didn't realize the entire mounting lug was missing - broken off at the weld.)

Thanks!

You still need them ? if so, I could make same pictures with measurements

Hey jensen, thanks so much for the offer - very much appreciated, but please don't go to the trouble as I'm going to close this thread after I located detailed images of a bare frame and realized what's actually required make a repair. I was hoping the fix would involve fabricating and welding a simple lug, but the actual mounting point also comprises a forward stop, and a grooved pin where the spring attaches - on my frame that entire assembly has been sheared off, there's literally nothing left, not even the spring attach point. Realistically, my only recourse will be to purchase a donor frame and swap the entire left foot peg/side stand section. Very frustrating as the auction house made no mention of that in their description or photos but I suppose that's the risk you take.
 
Having never owned one, I don't know many specific details of a K0, but the later models had the sidestand pivot point on the left rider footpeg assembly and not on the frame. When I built my restomod CL450K5, I had my welder friend re-attach the remaining part of that unit to the frame so the powdercoater wouldn't charge me extra for a separate piece, and because the rider (front) footpegs were never going to be put back on the bike again as I was using rearset pegs in the passenger position. So mine looks like this. The rider peg was cut off the complete bracket where the white circle is. I suggest this because the motor mount bolt holes are still the same, and if you find a later 5 speed left footpeg from a CB450K1 to K7 you could do something similar so you'd have the correct sidestand mounting spot that could be mounted in the same spot for your sidestand.

Thanks! I've decided the best fix for me is a donor frame.
