    Hi folks, New here from Ottawa, Canada, and the excited owner of a new to me 1982 Honda CM450 "custom" with about 14000km. Running, but now sadly winterized. The previous owner obviously made some cosmetic changes to the bike, but (not to jinx it) it seems to be in good mechanical shape. I...
  2. Tires, Wheels, and Brakes
    Hello, I feel that something is missing from the shaft since when i look at other pictures of cm450 comstar wheels i notice that the c clip isn’t as visible as mine is and that explains why it slipped off when i was riding it normally; I feel that there is a sort of ridge missing and I am hoping...

    Hi I just finished reassembling my CM450. I was stored for a few years before I got it and I didn’t ride it before I stripped it down. When I started it I noticed an oil leak from between the head pipes. You can see it in the video that is attached. I wanted to check here before ordering any...

    Must not be rusted thru and must not be a repaired tank that previously rusted thru. Small dent(s) tolerable but not those that look like your crushed grade-school lunchbox or those that became victimized by an ex-girlfriend If still wearing original paint, a later one with wing decals is...
  8. Engine Discussion
    Hello everyone, I was hoping somebody might be able to chime in on where to start on this issue. I recently rebuilt the carburetors on my 1984 cm450e, when taking it for a test drive i found the acceleration would quickly get sluggish as my rpm's go up. I thought this may be a firing problem so...

    Hi! My name is Ian, I live in Seattle. I've been riding since I was 16, and I had a Suzuki GS500 for about 10 years. I sold it when I moved to China for 2 years, and since I've been back in the US (about 5 years), I have been bike-less 😭. Well now I've finally filled the motorcycle-shaped...

    Hi all. I'm a husband and father and have waited until Corona World to get my first bike. Not because I haven't wanted one, but because the wife finally gave me the green light (...in case of the apocalypse)! I bought a 1982 Honda cm450c with only 5400 miles. It needs a few things and a tune-up...

    Hello, I have been a long time lurker of project bikes and last year I bought one! It’s a Honda cm450c here is my progress so far! And yes it’s my first project so it’s not amazing. in the beginning: the rust was intensive over the whole bike to the point where I couldn't use the tank anymore...
  16. Project Logs
    Hey guys, so a few months back I purchased a 1982 Honda CM450C..Seller said it had 8000 miles on it, and he put 200 hundred on in the last two years. The bike ran like **** and looked like it as well. In fact I crashed it during the test ride, as I was going to pump air up in the tires...
  17. Fuel Supply and Carburation
    Anyone find a set of compatible aftermarket air intake boots (rubber tube between carburetor and airbox) that fits either a CM400A and/or CM450A with stock carbs and airbox? Honda sold 'em with the airbox on these bikes, which means no separate part number for me to search. Apologies if this...
  18. Miscellaneous Discussion
    Anyone find aftermarket mufflers for their CM450 that look like OEM/stock, and aren't much louder? I know this is the opposite of what most people are doing to their CM450s... switching up muffler styles and going with something louder. I laid the bike down in an accident and scraped up/bent...
