Re: CM400C Cafe Garage Build - Lots of progress New Teaser photos! looks great, how did you mount the rear fender to the frame after you chopped it? What are you doing about your license plate?

Did you just cut your stock seat down and recover it or did you purchase it?

Hmmmm I thought it would cost more than that, at that price ill probably swing by an upholstery shop and get a quote. Thanks.

Found the issue. I believe it has to do with the 61a jet needle. I did the washer mod on the jet needle and completely fixed the problem. Still can't believe it worked.

No I bought it from the guy like that. The exhaust is stock, I believe the carbs are stock as well.

I have a 1982 honda cm450e it seems no matter which gear I am in, if i crack the throttle open half way the bike seems to bog and kind of hit a "flat spot" if I continue to open the throttle all the way the bike seems to come alive again and blasts off. Any ideas on where I should start looking...

Out of curiosity, has anyone found an all-in-one solution for a cafe seat similar to this one: http://www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/1979-1980-1982-honda-cm400-cm400t-cm400a-cm450-cafe-racer-motorcycle-seat/ They said theyll include the pan/foam/cover for about $300 -- Its the only one ive found...

Thanks for the heads up, I guess ill hold off on the pods until I get a chance to checkout what carbs and everything im running. The previous owner mocked up a seat pan for it already so I may use that a basis to build a cafe seat. Ive begun stripping off the simple stuff at lunch...

Hey guys, Im conrad I ended up scooping up a pretty decent cm450 -- Doesnt look too pretty but it runs fairly strong. First on my list of purchases: Clip ons a new seat intake pods Anyone have any experience with purchasing the above products for a cm450? If so, any info/links would be greatly...

cool thanks, I went ahead and bought one while at lunch. The guy I puchased the bike from said he bought a new battery not too long ago, could there be something that is draining the battery? If so any ideas on where I should start looking?

i do not

Bought new plugs and the sparkplugs won't spark after cranking the kickstart. The old plugs also reeked of gasoline. Judging by that and the gauge cluster severely dimming after multiple kickstart attempts I'm almost positive it's the battery. Also tried push starting it and it started for...

Thanks ill give both a shot. I think you may be onto something with the battery idea too.
