Hi to all,
i found this forum this evening and i want you to show you the "making of" from my 85`LTD 450 (European Version of your 454 LTD).
Please forgive my bad english, i am german
I got the bike from my brother last year and started the conversion this summer:
cleaing...cleaning...cleanig......
repaired Broken nose at throttle
First try with the fender:
Some nice colour:
a new seat:
I was not realy happy with the seat so i started with a new attempt:
Better
After only 600 km on the road i got an engine damage.
One of the crankshaft bearings
I put the engine out and into my "office" for repair (BIG Ttanks to my wife for understanding this emergency ;D) :
Ready for mounting:
Finished:
2 days later i had an accident with an other motorcycle (turned into the street without recognizing me...):
Myself (and the other too...) is getting better day by day, but... no way to repair the 450.
Too much parts are broken or damaged (Frame, Fork, Front Wheel...)
But i will find a new one and start building the same thing again ;D.

very sorry that things went bad. Getting well is the first thing to do, then, 
you can try again. ;D We all commend you for wanting to re-work your "dream" bike. 
No pic on last post? Pic in other post..the bike looking good.....maybe shorter rear shocks to lower rear fender closer to tire??
