Hi new to the forum. Just got my first motorcycle.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to intoduce myself. My name is Marcus and Im 23yrs old. I just got my first bike but I have been interested in motorcycles for a while. Was finally able to get one. I bought a 1980 honda cm400t about a week ago. It needs a little work but it runs well and Im a do-it-yourselfer. Ive worked on cars and just about everything else for many years. Ive already read a lot of the cm400 builds on the forum and I can tell Im going to have a lot of fun with this motorcycle. Thanks a bunch everyone! Here are a few pics when she was on the trailer ride home

Looks like a fun ride. And judging by that back tire, looks like the previous owner had some fun before he sold it ;D

Hehe yeah new tires are on the top of my part list.

Looks like a good start, whats with the clutch lever?

 

[ponycarman]

The handle is pretty curled hehe. Its the front brake lever. Also on the part list hehe.

So much potential. Love it man.
That rear fender is killer but that seat has got to go.

Yeah Im not crazy about the work that was done to the back. I dont really like the way the rear fender was made and while the seat is comfy it really doesnt fit well into the lines. Im not sure what the fellow that modded the bike was going for. There are a few strange things done to it.
