Never thought I'd like a bike with so much chrome! That's lovely. The Japanese really have a way with these.

Thanks for the tip! You're right that those aren't super blocky, but would still probably look great. I haven't even thought about tires at this point, or wheels. They are in decent shape, not original tires, so I'm trying to stick to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". That's difficult to hold...

We will see what it sounds like after I'm done. Going to make the exhaust myself. Unfortunately I figured out today when I took the old one off that the original clamps aren't in there, so I'll have to go ebay hunting and overpay.

Ah that makes sense. I figured it was something like that. Thanks for confirming! Any idea if any changes were made between 83 and 84 model years?

I think you're right on the engine. Seems to be lots of cross-compatibility. Only annoying things is that the VIN plate shows the bike as an '84. Most websites don't list that as an option, only 82-83. Until proven wrong I'm assuming its identical to an 83!

Brand new on here, but I came across another thread from this forum (https://www.dotheton.com/index.php?threads/82-honda-cm250-scrambler-foxy-lady.31070/) from a guy who started with a similar platform so I'm doing some learning from him. I bought a 1984 CM250 in pretty rough shape from a guy...
