Thanks for the replies. it was going to be going all the way down to the gasket between the case and the jugs. but my friend decided he'd rather sale it and get something else than do the work this one needs.

Going to be helping a friend replace the top end gaskets in his new GS850. I have more experience than him but that isn't saying much. we'll both be doing/learning this for the first time. So what should I be looking at/watching out for while I have it apart. I found a manual for free online...

HAHAHA way to go Frankenfe. By the way I love the way your bike is turning out and I still haven't started mine. :( but that doesn't mean I go around telling others how they're screwing up. And if anyone thinks cars see your bike let alone your turn signals you're dilusional. Never rely on...

Re: ugly duckling CM400T build Man I've been trying to figure out my exhaust for the longest time. I'm digging the 2-1 collector. my thought was to collect in front of the motor wrap around the right side of the motor if you're looking at it from the front. and have a shorty muffler tucked up...

The guys at dime city cycles should have one and they're real nice folks. great looking tank and seat by the way! where'd you get them or did you make one or both?

Re: 79 Honda CM400T - Nerdsports Racer Looking even better than I imagined. Can't wait to see more

Not sure about the aluminum welding since it already has jb weld on it. Yea guys I know its not a proper fix but it worked till the last guy started picking it off. And yes alphadog its pretty empty already and i'm going to drain whats left and clean it up real nice with wax/oil/dirt remover...

Hey guys I know my new bike isn't a cafe racer and this will be my only post about it on here but you guys are incredibly helpful and want y'all's expertise. So I have an 02 Honda shadow 750. That I picked up for 500.00. The catch is it needed some work including fixing an oil leak in the...

How'd you jet the vm30's and would you recommend the vm32's or is that overkill? I'd like to hear it run. Youtube video in the near future?

Re: 79 Honda CM400T - Nerdsports Racer man this build is coming along nicely. Almost have my metal shop where it needs to be to start tearing into my 400. I have great things planned for her. Thought I'd throw this out there. I found a picture on the web. I forget where of course, but the guy...

Re: 79 Honda CM400T - Nerdsports Racer What product do you use to seal? Kreme? I'm digging that subframe. Think that's the way I'm going on my bike. Haven't decided if I should do the monoshock or not. So many choices right?

that's what I'm thinking. I know i would have to rebuild the forks I have and I'd also need stiffer springs by the time I add up parts even if I could do the work myself I'd still be over what I could pick up a set of USD forks for. Is there a particular style or time period of bike that uses...

Hey neevo thanks. and DUH! haha. I was thinking about that to modify the rear wheel to adapt a disc setup. If I could find a bike that has USD forks, 17in. wheels front and rear, and disc brakes front and back that would be ideal. I can modify most anything just not too familiar with all the...

I've been thinking about the usd forks and now have access to a lathe and mill and can now make my own trees for whatever I'd like to buy. YAY! I like the 18 inch size but I may look at some 17's. I just don't want to get too low as I'm going to do a 2-1 under the engine with a emgo shorty muffler.

Re: 79 Honda CM400T - Nerdsports Racer Looks great. Loving that tail section.
