Gotta finish the forks to get it back into finished roller and upload some more pics

Been a while since my last update.. Life got in the way! Anyhow, I finally painted the frame, swingarm and wheels. I don't have a finished pic of both wheels but the one included shows a before/after when I stripped and painted..

Oddly enough, when I removed the factory air box there was no filter in there.. My assumption was the PO must've had the carbs rejetted or something. I haven't put many miles on the bike yet because I finished it right before winter struck so I'm not positive it's 100% dialed in.. And...

Re: Sin City CM400 Cafe Racer The engine really stands out as a center piece.. Great work!

Jealous.. Wish I could be riding!

Re: Sin City CM400 Cafe Racer Looking really nice! Have you done a mock-up with the chain on the sprockets? The rear looks like it might hit the swingarm . Or are you using some kind of chain guide? Or maybe its just the angle of the pic? Lol

Small update: In process of painting the frame and wheels. Frame is gonna be a gloss black and the wheels will be all silver with a semi-polished lip. Also starting the polishing of the forks and some other bits. Pics to follow.. I've been tossing around some ideas in my head on overall paint...

I hope you nail that rendering! That'll be sweet!

Gorgeous bike! Minimalist and clean.. My gf told me I need to get a bike she can ride on with me, life is rough, lol.. This is the direction I wanna take though!

Got the rear sets mounted up and got the bike back into a roller.. The riding position is super comfortable!! Taking it all back apart and hoping to paint the frame and swingarm next week.. I'll probably have to cut away a little bit of the seat over the rear tire, then I'll smooth the tank...

Re: 1981 Honda CM400T - Subframe nearly complete I'll get some more pics up soon.. Currently working on mounting the rear sets and cleaning up the frame and swingarm for paint

I think the rear peg braces you needed are from a CB450 Euro spec.. Not 100% positive though

I guess I should've been more specific.. I was wondering if there were a set of carbs from another model bike that could essentially bolt on.. I know Mikuni has VM 30's that would work but I'm trying to avoid spending $350+ on a new set of.carbs.

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread with an answer.. In any event, what carbs if any are interchangeable with the CM400T?? Something that can be re-jetted, etc.. The Keihin CV's on my bike are non-adjustable and a nightmare to shim or the like.. Thanks in...

Re: 1981 Honda CM400T - Freebie!! Well, I used Schedule 40 pipe which has thicker walls than the framing that was removed.. I'm not concerned with that, but I am considering a few triangular braces where some pieces are welded together ..Need some more material though.
