1982 Honda cm250 not in perfect condition but it has potiential. Needs new drive chain, gas cap, foot pegs, cone filter, and seat cushion. About another 500$ but a great project. Bike isn't wired because i took out the wiring harness to make it easier to work on and i don't know squat about...

Hey guys, So I'm still not getting spark to my plugs, like at all and I've replaced the coil, cdi, and rectifier with no luck. The last part is the alternator, which I think is not producing enough juice ac to charge the cap in the cdi. I'm reading less than 40V AC when I turn her over and I...

Hey fellas, So I bought this bike about 4 months ago, my first bike, which didn't run yet, because the HS Senoir had detached the entire electrical harness, and painted the bike, with like rustoleum or whatever. I cannot get a spark to the plugs at all. I've replaced the plugs, CDI box (used)...

Thanks man, Yea I was checkin' out the DCC TV, where they literally cut out the sides of the tank, then hand formed some sheet metal and welded it back on, with the curvature of the tank inverted. It looked, or was I guess a professional job. I think I could actually pull it off but It's...

Hey fellas, So I have a stock tank, and I don't think it looks nearly as cool as all of yours so I'm looking for suggestions and advice on the best way and or experiences in changing the profile of my tank, ie the indents for the knees. It seems so bulky. Sorry I'm still pretty green at this...

Hey man, Total FNG here too, and I copped a cm250 82' a few weeks ago, with it missing some critical parts and the electrical harness strewn out like guts. I bought a clymer repair manual, tagged everything out according to the wiring diagram and after identifying all the participants on the...

Pipe bender? So if you want like original, custom pipes, you gotta find some one to bend them for you? Who are these mysterious metal misers? And where can I find one? Muffler shop? Chrome? Thanks, mostynIndustires -slip-

Hey fellas, So I'm new to this awesome world of vintage bikes, picked up my first bike a CM250 couple weeks ago. Rewired the harness back and she'll turnover. I'm missing the header and I'm finding out real quick that some of the stock parts for this bike are discontinued. So my questions is...
