Background: Two weeks ago I bought a 1978 Cb400T Hawk with a 1980 CM400T parts bike off Craigslist for $300. Both bikes have not seen the road since I was born, 24 years ago. The Hawk's engine is seized and the CM had a good engine but no title. After trying everything from Marvel Mystery oil to diesel and everything in between I could not get the engine to budge. I originally planned to get both bikes running but that's not going to happen. So my new plan is to take the engine from the CM and put it on the CB to make one running bike. Maybe later I'll tear down the CB engine, but for now I'll stick to the plan. I plan to get the CB running and along the way make it a Cafe Racer. I don't know much about bikes, should make for a good learning experience.
What's been done: I've already tore down the CM to bare frame and started to tear down the CB to paint the frame.
