Hey guys, I've been a lurker since getting my bike over the summer and figured I would join and contribute since I've taken a good bit of information from the site. I will have to compile some images of the build and start a thread. I'm involved in the motocross industry and in recent years have made the transition from sport bikes to the slower side of the spectrum. I'm just not home enough to have an expensive bike and insurance sitting in the shed.
I was on the road for work when the bike was reposted for sale by a friend who owns a shop. I text him half joking and he said he could get me the friends and family discount and would get the guy to hold it for me. When I went home in July we picked it up and it was another two months before I could actually do anything.
Here is my 1980 CM400T on the day I picked it up.

Build thread coming soon.

I appreciate that immensely, The Clymer manual was on my list among other things

Don't waste your money on the Clymer, it's ok as a general reference of where parts are located and that's about it.

Ok, I used to work at Comark Communications just out of high school in the summer of 89 when I was living up in Easthampton. That seems like a lifetime ago now.
