I picked up a CM400T for a case of beer and I would love to be able to do something like you did. I'm only about an hour away as well up near Salmon Arm. Would love to connect and ask you a few questions some day...

Yup, its electric stArt, the battery worked fine all season. I am planning to upgrade the rectifier just for assurance (along with a programmable ignition).DoTheTodd said:I'm considering using the same battery for my CM450. Your CM400 is electric start only too, right? How is the battery holding up? Did you need to upgrade to a new rectifier and other electrical components to run this battery?
Thanks! Really clean looking bike.
DoTheTodd said:So you haven't upgraded anything aside from the battery at this point? I'm just trying to plan out what I need to order.
tsbigdog said:Hey great job on the bike. I have a the same setup with dual emgo shorties on my CM400 and I've tried several different things to quiet them down. Nothing seems to work well. I did find a company that makes tuneable mechanical baffles for these. I haven't gotten them yet, but I may have to this spring. I am running out of ear plugs. If you decide to purchase them please let us know if they work for you.

Here is a closer look at how the hoop got attached to the frame.
Picked up this tube notcher. Definitely worth it.
Lower arms tacked.
After plenty of massaging we managed to fit some DCC frame slugs.
