    1982 CM450C - San Rafael CA - Damaged, quick sale

    Hey guys. So I recently found out first hand the real, tangible safety benefit of lane splitting out here in San Francisco traffic. At least, now I'm a believer. Without getting into debates, discussion or whatever regarding riding... I'm here to hand off a donor bike. The short version of...

    Engine, carbs, valves... not sure what is up. But something is up for sure

    Edit for brevity and bump: So the bike is an 82 cm450c. Mechanically stock. I replaced the stock exhaust with shorties clamped right onto the headers. What's troubling me is that after I got the pipes back on, there was a really loud ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka-ticka sound coming...

    Shade tree mechanic photography

    Over the weekend I took the front end apart refitting, rerouting and refilling some stuff. My wife is a photographer and decided to stop by for a but and snap a few shots. I'd been meaning to ask her to do that anyway so I could finally get some decent pics of the bike. She only used a few for...

    cm450 more of a project than a build

    Sup? I picked up this bike a couple years back so I would have a ride out here in Boston. Did the T (mass transit) the first year but that wasn't cutting it for me. Being a pretty short dude and just getting around the city I wanted a smaller displacement older bike and this one didn't look...

    FNG from MA here's my ride - cm450c

    Sup guys and gals? So, I'm actually pretty new to forums and have only been riding a couple of years now. Always wanted a bike but never managed to get a running one until I moved to somewhere with snow and negative temps... :-\ but it's been great city riding and well, I finally have a...
