Hey did you ever do your own chop? I love the posts that you have given on other CM400’s I just got one and was wondering if you knew of a good way to rake out the front?

Did you ever get your 400 customized? I just picked up an ‘82 cm450a and want to see what I can do to it… I’m not too far from racine…

So I just aquired a cm400a, but the inside of the tank is rusty, is there a way of fixing this w/o cutting the tank apart to sand it?

I just bought a 1981 CM400E with 1200 original miles on it .I gave good money for it $1500 to be exact but this little bike is perfect.It came out of Michagan from the original owner.I need to put up some pictures you would not believe the quality of it .When i was 12 I had a CB125S and loved it,this bike reminded me of it so much I had to have it.If you really like it buy it.

Comment on The Diarrhea Incident – Lesson Learned by poot

This once happened to a friend of mine’s mom several years ago. One day she took us along with her while she had some shopping to do at Wal Mart.
Shortly after we entered the store, she suddenly got hit with some MAJOR diarrhea. Now, Wal Mart does have restrooms, but they were in the very back of the store and we happened to be in the very front! She managed not to crap her pants. However in order to accomplish that, she had to walk through the entire store sweating with a bright red face and squeezing her butt cheeks together with every ounce of strength she had. First time I’d ever seen anyone walk like THAT!..ha!!..ha!! Well, the important thing is she made it without crapping her pants and that’s all that mattered. I guess ya gotta do whatever it takes. Now that I look back on it, I’m damn proud of that woman for the ability to save herself AND us a lot of embarrassment. She was a real trooper that day. lol!!!!

I just bought a POS 82 cm450 and I still dont know if i want to make it into a bobber or a bad little cafe/streetfighter. I could probably do the bobber for cheap and if i go the streetfighter route I want to do an old school meets new school kinda thing. Which brings me to my questions. How hard would it be to put on newer sportbike parts like a newer cbr front end and rear assembly (swingarm, wheel etc,) Also if anybody has the service manual for the bike in .pdf form or whatever it would be awesome if you could email me a copy. tightpockt01@aol.com
Thanks!

I own a 83 nighthawk and lowered and bobbed it. I cut right behind the shocks and added 9 inch pieces of 1/4 inch steel(it lowered the bike approx. 8 inches)and welded to the frame bought a fender from tractor supply a new taillight and repaired the blinkers i painted the tank with black and white paint from the hardware store and staightened the stock bars to give it that old skool look and made a seat and covered it vinyl. ALL this was done in my backyard with the help of my eight yr.old son he is a bad ass helper and I’m proud of what we accoplished together!!

I bobbed a 83 nighthawk 550 just follow the list that he left above. I cut right behind the shocks as rob did and lowered mine with 9 inch pieces of 1/4 inch steel and used a trailer fender from tractor supplyredone the tail light and signals,I took the factory bars and straightened the pullback to look like mini apes and put 2 1/2 pipe on the headers and put exhaust wrap on to look old skool made a seat from 3/4 inch felt saddle pad ( i work as a cowboy at a feedyard in oklahoma)and covered it with brown vinyl
