I checked for CM200 seats, but it doesn't look like they have anything specific for that model. Not sure if it's the same pan as the cm400, but here's the link: http://www.motorcycleseatsdirect.com/search.php?search_query=cm400&x=0&y=0

God, no. There's a company that makes cafe seats with the original seat pan, so I won't have to cut the frame.

I'm definitely putting the front fender back. I'll probably chop it a little, but yeah. gotta have it back. What is the consensus, if any, about these? http://www.dimecitycycles.com/chrome-12-inch-shorty-muffler.html I definitely don't want the stock cones back on. Makes the thing sound like...

Partial update: So, stripped the tank. New chain and front sprocket are in and will be on asap. I have to buy a chain tool. I've been riding it back and forth to work, about a 20 minute ride at varying speeds (20-60mph) and it handles well, but is under-powered. I know, I know. This pic is...

I don't mean to derail CZ's thread. So we can move this to my (severely un-updated) thread if we need to. But what would you suggest to boost hp? To me, an admitted novice, pods + a re-jet seems like it would boost hp.

Hey bro. I watched all your YT vids about this build a few months ago and JUST found you on the forum! I wanted to ask you about your velocity stacks. It seems like just about everyone on the forum is anti-stack. I understand the risks, but I'm looking to put either pods or stacks on my bike. Do...

Thanks for the info, guys. DTT is such a great resource for noobs like me. So after I make the 60/40 mix, would I just submerge the shocks in a tub? Will it damage any plastics or rubber?

Is this the stuff you used? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klean-Strip-1-gal-Phosphoric-Prep-and-Etch-GKPA30220/100406369 My rear shocks could use some rust removal.

Re: 1972 CB350 Resto-Mod Let us know how you end up mounting the seat. I've thought about buying one from them as well.

Any updates to this thread? I'm working on my CM400 and would love to see how this thing ended up.

Sorry for the radio silence lately, guys. I started a new job and have had very little time to work on the bike. To update, I checked the sprockets and they're not in need of immediate replacement. I'll replace them probably after the new year, just for the experience. I want to replace the...

Sorry to hear read about the engine, Alex. I got my first bike, a similar CM400, myself a few months ago, but mine was in great working shape. I'm on the cafe route as well, but I'm not planning on going "cafe cool." Just a couple little tweaks to an already functioning bike. I'll keep up with...

Thanks so much for all your advice, Trek97! Duly noted on the air box. The air filter is pretty dirty, so I'll replace that asap. I'm adjusting the chain tomorrow, but it is time for a new one regardless. I don't see any cracks, but it's rusted all over.

Problems solved(ish)! Thanks, Trek97 for the guidance! https://youtu.be/m7lqrcge0gY

I'm reading 3/8-3/4 inches, which it definitely doesn't have now. But it wasn't shifting well when it wasn't adjusted. I guess it's not shifting well now either. I'll reverse my changes in the morning and take another look.
