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). I had my bike parked outside a friend's house, covered with a tarp, and someone tried to steal it. I...

Just bought an 81' CM400E, and there is a plethora of things I need to fix up on it, but the main issue I am having at the moment is finding a front brake cable. I was wondering if anybody knew where to find one or one that would work or any other tips for this issue. I'm new to motorcycles and...

Hello all, I’m currently working on my project bike, a 1980 CM400E. As I’m sure you all know, the E model came with only a speedo and where the tach would normally be is where the neutral, oil and high beam lights are. I would really like to just take a gauge cluster from a CM400T or something...

Hi all, Currently in the process of taking a new to me CM400E and trying to update it to be a safe and reliable daytripping bike. I am new to the whole motorcycle game, but I am not afraid to get my hands greasy and to take things apart and put them back together. So far all of the work I have...

This is for the 1980 400E, so it's got the perch for the front brake (drum brakes) lever, the kill switch and the starter switch. It's in good condition. The wires and brake lever switch are good. PM for pics. I'd rather just text pics than get them on my computer.

I've got a 1980 CM400t that I'm putting back together, and I've not been able to source a replacement right side (battery side) cover for less that $150. I know somebody out there has a lead on one of these, and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hailing from Vancouver, BC! Good morning everyone. I've been taking all your advice for years under the radar. There is almost no topic that hasn't been covered in some way or another and has been amazing, but I think it's time to get involved :) I just picked up an '81 CM400E that has been...

Picked up this CM400E cafe bike today, it's a mishmash of parts - GSXR front end, Hayabusa rotor, Harley Dyna front wheel, etc. but I'm in love nonetheless. What I'm wondering now is that I'd like to put a hugger over the rear wheel so it stops pelting the pod filter - what do you guys think is...

Hey everyone, New to the forum even though I found tons of valuable information off here already just by google searching. I'm having problems installing the center stand I bought off ebay. It's off of a 1980 CM400A and I'm trying to put it on my cm400e. I know where the large bolt that...

Long story short: I started a project in the fall but school and life caught up to me and I don't have time to really work on it and am in need of the money for my other venture (i.e. College) Basically everything is available but I'll post asking prices for a few of the major/more sought after...

Hello, My name is BShape from Ohio! Last summer my Dad traded me a motorcycle for our extra car. I told him, being the enthusiest, that I wanted something vintage that I could wrench on and also make my own with some customization. Also, that I wanted something easy to find parts for and easy...

I'm new to bike maintenance and riding in general. I got my license this summer, bought a 1981 CM400E and took it on a 5000 mile trip around the country from Vermont and eventually landed in the bay area where I've settled for now. My interest in the motorsport has taken off rather quickly as...
