    1980 Honda CM400 Resto/Mod/Cafe

    That's awesome! I'm definitely going to have to go and scrounge some up for myself - especially considering that they're plug and play... And along the lines of the headlight, those were my same thoughts. I like the dual headlights, but at the same time they don't follow the continuity of the...

    Thanks PowerHungry. CB360 huh? I'll have to look into that - thanks for the advice. Just for grins, whats your take on dual headlights? I've been throwing that idea around and I'm not sure I feel about it.

    Here's some inspiration. My personal favorite is the last picture. I might just singularly pull from that one.

    PowerHungry, with your clip-ons, did you end up putting them below where the headlight mounts? Because so far as I can tell, I would have to cut off the headlight mounts, sand it, repolish, get a new headlight and lower it, and then put the clip-ons above it. Or did you completely switch out the...

    Alright, update. 2/13/2015 I ordered some new float needles and put them in. Once I put the carbs in and buttoned everything up it ran perfectly. No leaks no nothin'. So I can only assume it was just a matter of 35 year old needles... I took it around the block and it was a completely different...

    Okay, will do. With these carbs in particular it is difficult to evaluate the brass tubes in the bowl because they don't come out. So looking for cracks or any type of imperfection is limited to a flashlight and my eye... :-\ And thanks for the advice cxman, I didn't realize the tubes affected...

    New Guy on the block 1980 CM400

    Hello all! Just wanted to introduce myself! I own a 1980 Honda CM400. Bought it just a few months ago and thanks to some replaced fuses, now starts and runs (with the exception of some minor carburetor issues). Anywho, I'm new to motorcycles, but I find them fairly simple to work on and so...

    Here she is as of 2/7/15: Carburetor is taken out and awaiting new float needles. The seat has been reupholstered. This ol' Honda is looking as good as ever.

    Hello! First time poster, long time reader. I own a fixer-upper CM400, but I love it. It is such a simple bike to work on and has such a great vibe. Anywho, on to the business: The bad: - When we first picked it up, it didn't start. (A simple matter of a blown fuse). - The left side side cover...
