    82 Honda CM450c Wheel fitment with 06 SV650

    I have the entire 82 and the rolling chassis for the SV but they are 75 miles apart. Does anyone know if they can or will work together?

    82 CM450C Switch from CV to Mikuni VM32

    Been doing a lot of reading and people are flaming every attempt to put pods and the like on the stock carbs, and after reading, Mikuni's seem to be the answer in the VM32 size with the 450's per DCC. The question I have is has anyone used these? I hear a lot about people using them but not what...

    CB400T and CM250 Parts

    Re: CB400T Parts and CM250 wheels I would have to create an account to view pictures. Not very conducive to selling it.

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    Haha!, it looked about right so I ran it again and everything was going well but it still died unexpectedly without provocation. So I decided that I would go ahead and replace the coil with the GM Coil Mod because I already had the parts. I'm pretty sure that the replacement of the coil went...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    OK, so I'm out here working on it. Here is what I have: http://imgur.com/a/GmGyJ Between the spark plugs has 17.7k resistance and between the ends has no resistance. I'm not really sure if that's the right places to be looking.

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    Ok, I'll give that a shot. Today is my friday, so I will head out to where my bike is over my weekend. I am thinking of replacing the coil with the GM Coil mod. Seems like the benefits outweigh not doing it even if it is not bad. The reason I may seem to replace stuff unnecessarily is because I...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    I tried to remove the stator rotor earlier this week with the rear axle and it did not fit to remove it. I am worried that I may not have put the rear wheel back on properly though. Is there a trick to it or good things to know for a novice? When you put it like that it would be pretty dumb to...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    I'll give it a shot before I try replacing the stator. Out of curiousity, when taking off the stator rotor do I need the "Honda" tool to do it? I have ordered the bolts from Fastenal, both the M18x1.5 and the M20x1.5 bolts in case I need them. Will they work to remove the stator rotor and give...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    Thanks Sonreir, the compression is fine, the bike sounds great when it's running, the carbs have been adjusted by a me and a bike mechanic friend, so I am pretty sure that is not the issue. The timing checks out good HerrDeacon, are you talking about in the petcock? Could use a gallon jug with...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    It runs and starts up when it's cold, but when it's been running for a minute or two it will die and not restart until it's cool again. So, to answer your question, it does not restart immediately when it dies. The more I think about it, it seems like it would be a loose connection that's...

    Engine dies after short periods 82 CM450

    Hey guys, I'm having problems with my 82 CM450. - I have replaced the wiring harness, CDI, and Reg/Rect. - I have rebuilt the carbs, pretty sure they're right - The engine runs for short periods of time then dies unexpectedly. - Fresh gas, clean tank. - The Reg/rect gets very hot when the...

    Frame welding modification on 82 CM450C

    I'm all ears for learning as much as I can. I learn a lot better from doing, however. For instance: I saw someone make extensions for the pods, is 4 inches enough? I'm in Austin too, by the way, and would love to see your CM one of these days. Maybe pick your brain about a few of the crazy...

    Frame welding modification on 82 CM450C

    I certainly wasn't trying to bring an attitude to the thread, it just seemed like an answer that was put forth as something dismissive and not informative. Given the explaination that you gave above, it certainly makes more sense to take a different tack and redraw the boundaries of possibility...

    Frame welding modification on 82 CM450C

    I can't stand the bent part of the frame. That and it's my bike. I want to customize it.

    Frame welding modification on 82 CM450C

    Thank you for your response, although I disagree with your answer. If it took an engineering degree to work on the frame of a bike this forum would be the smartest community on the face of the planet. As far as welding is concerned, it has been done before, as evidenced by the picture. I don't...

    Frame welding modification on 82 CM450C

    1982 CM450C Here She is, black beauty. I want to do what WrenchTechRacing did and chop off the frame and weld support for a monoshock. I talked to a local bike shop owner and he made it sound like heart surgery with tools I didn't have to make it all happen. I have a tig and mig welder and...

    First ever cafe build progress report

    Where did you get those lights? I have been trying to build some but I am terrible at it. I've seen the FLEDA system, but it costs $500. Where did you find yours? Found it: http://www.chromeglow.com/catalog.asp?prodid=605465

    82 CM450C - Nameless for now but a start.

    So this is where the fun starts. I just bought this bike from a kid who obviously didn't know what he was doing with it, and honestly, he looked pretty glad to get rid of it. For a couple hundred bucks and a title, I thought this would be a good first bike for me and jumped on it. I found out...
