hello, new to the site and the riding world, just bought an 81 CM400T, so far i have spent my time getting it running and stripping it down a bit. Now im ready to take the plunge and get started on the build, the plan:
-shorty rear shocks with rear frame rails curved upwards towards shock mount ala: typical bratstyle
-16" rear shinko 270 whitewall (old firestone look) on 16" wire wheel
-21" avon speedmaster on 21" wire wheel
- narrow ribbed rear fender
-narrowed and frisco mounted sportster tank
-set of narrow (22" or so) t bars, turned down 20 degrees or so at the grips
-5 1/2" bates headlight
-32 ford "stop" tail light
-chinese aluminum master cylinder
-car style ignition switch
i have all these parts so far (tires no wheels) and am getting ready to get my hands dirty. i have all the parts figured out for the basic rolling chassis and stance that i am after, but i am getting stumped on some of the harder to find stuff. here is what i am looking for details on:
7/8" dual cable throttle - is it a push/pull style? i cant find info anywhere
front and rear wheel axle sizes - i would like to keep the front disc so i need a different brand wheel
when i change the rear frame section to the curved style tubes do i need to brace them back together somehow?
