1980 CM400T
Just picked up a 1980 CM400T for cheap and she runs like a champ (except for the clutch cable which is an easy fix). This'll be my first complete build. I had a 1975 CB500T that just refused to run so I sold it last year before putting too much time and effort into her.

I'm planing on making her into a Brat/Scrambler/tracker, as I live in a small town and want to tear up those dirt roads. Truth be told I have a lot of ideas and what I have in my head takes a little bit of everything from those three categories. SOOO the pictures below are of her after I drove her home (from over an hour away) for the first time. She drove like you'd expect a 36 year old bike to drive that hasn't had a good tune up in awhile but she was a blast and held together really well. Tomorrow starts the tear down and cleaning so I'll update as she moves along.

Thanks for looking and if you have any ideas let me know, I love being creative.
