Topic: new bike, late 70's or maybe early 80's cm400

i just got, kind of "inherited" a cm400, it seems to be in pretty good shape with new tires, sprockets and chain. are there any performance upgrades that can be done with this bike? i was also thinking about a cafe build for it. this bike WILL be sold when i finish it as i dont think me, as heavy and big as i am, should be riding a 400, i'd look like a monkey screwing a football lol. anyways the bike was free and i'm looking for ideas, i even thought about doing a rigid chopper.................who knows.

I had a CM400 once. Great bikes. It hauled my 200lb butt anywhere I asked it to.

I have an '81. She was my first. Still fun to ride. I have some extra parts, if you need something.

I have a 79' CM 400A, the Hondamatic version. Geat little bike....gets up and goes pretty well too. I got mine free as well. check youtube, I know theres a video of a CM400 bobber on there that looks sweet......I believe you can still get pipes for it, as well as pod filters, but thats about it. Good luck with it!!
