Hey all,
I've been in the process of restoring a 1980 CM400T over the past few months, and have been coming here to read suggestions and get info, but haven't really had time to join up. My first bike was a '79 CB750K and have always wanted another one, so I came across this CM on craigslist for $300. I couldn't pass it up because the guy, who owns a motorcycle repair shop, said all it needed was the carbs rebuilt and a battery. Turns out he was correct. Score! So, after I got it running, I decided to so a frame-off resto. It's coming along nicely and my loving girlfriend (the bike model in me avatar pic) decided to name her Gretchen.
Now, the real reason I decided to join up...
I'm coming down to the final rebuild, and am having a real hard time coming across the right side cover. Does anyone know a good place, other than eBay (been trying for months) to find one? I don't really care about the color because I'm gonna repaint it anyway.
Also, any words of advice for rebuilding the engine?
Thanks!
