Good looking bikes everyone!

Both bikes look great!

Not totally sure where I'm gonna go with the seat honestly. The stock one is big but doesn't look horrible to me. Way more comfy and with my long legs helped to give me some more room. I have a second seat to experiment with though! Fun fun haha! Sooner or later I'll make my mind up ha.

Got a good bit done last weekend. Took the forks back off and stripped the black paint off. Lightly polished the forks. Not totally shiny but better than they were. Got then put back on and started putting on the other pieces. Got the brake caliper, new line, master cylinder, new controls, and...

Got some better pics and got a little done. I'm in the process of stripping the black paint off the forks and front fender and polishing them back to nice. Pic from the rear Got the bars remounted last weekend with the rubber dampers shimmed to tighten the bar mounts up a tad. It's...

Thanks a bunch! :D

Got this in the mail today! Braided stainless brake line with fittings, bolts, and crush washers. I believe this will complete my brakes systems for now. Had some questions about fork braces and steering dampers. I've seen some peeps use tarrozi fork braces. When I look on fast from the...

Got a ton done today. Probably the most progress yet. Got the rest fender cleaned and de-rusted. Sealed up the underside with rubberized undercoat. Mounted it and the rear signals and tail light. Took the whole front end apart and got the new steering head bearings in, rebuilt the forks, and...

Oops my bad. Forgot the cm400e has the front drum and cable drive. My "t" version had the hydraulic disc. Sorry again.

You mean the front master cylinder? Yes master cylinders from other bikes will work. Just make sure it's the right size for your handlebars and the right piston size. I grabbed a nissin unit off eBay with the appropriate sizes. Mine came off a newer suzuki. Just have to do some searching. Nice...

Thanks, still have tons to do haha. Have fun with your new bike!

Been doing as much as I can on the weekends. Got a replacement lower steering stem and tapered steering bearings. Haven't installed them yet. In the disassembly and rust removal phase haha. Naval jelly has been working great to get the rust gone. The original stem had one of the stops broken...

Nice looking bike! I like the simple looks. Great work so far 8)

It has been quite a while since I've posted anything with this. Bike got buried, life happened haha. I'm back at it again in hopes to get it ready to ride next riding season. A close friend of mine has been motivating me as he wants and needs a riding partner. The focus on the project has...

Hello follow cm owners. It's been quite a while since I have posted or moved forward on my project. Many reasons, life happens ha. Getting married and buying a house seems to divert funds and attention. Excuses are done ha. I am having a bit of a resurrection. A friend of mine who is a...
