    One thing to note before I explain; my ignition is broken so right now it is just a homemade knob where the ignition had been (should have made it more secure when parking on the street, I know).

    So my bike wasnt starting, which was very much a bummer. hit the ignition switch, and no crank, no click, nothing. kaputski. After pulling my hair out for a good two months, testing, cleaning, dielectric-greasing, i ordered some of the cheaper parts because, hey, why not. I ended up switching...

    I know this is a bit of a longshot, but I'm giving it a go. I've got a 1981 CM400 Custom, midnight blue with lighter blue inset color. When I bought it the left side cover was just the darker blue/no decal. I'm putting it out there that I'm looking for a left side cover *with* the decal. I know...
