I just bought a 1980 CM 400T for $550 last Thursday, they guy I bought it from said it needed alot of work, Once I got it home I took the battery out and threw it on my Battery tender for the weekend, contrary to popular belief most "old dead batteries" can be recharged and will last you another couple years, I work for Indian Motorcycles we do it ALL the time when pick up an auction bike, and then took the carbs off and cleaned them real well and put them back in and then got some new spark plugs. Last night (Monday) when I got home I went out to the garage and threw the battery in in and a gallon of fresh gas in the tanks, took me a couple cranks but she fired up and I took around the block a couple times. I'm going to Bob mine on the cheap, I've got a factory solo seat off a Honda Rebel that's I'm going to dye Saddle Brown and stick on it. I'm going to paint the frame brown and the tins White and put a Orange, Yellow and Brown pinstripe on the tank and the Fenders and paint the mag wheels a burnt Copper color and make it a retro period correct late 70's early 80's custom bike.

Thanks for the informative video
Thank YOU for watching.
I just found an ‘83 CM400. Was thinking about getting it and making it a fun project bike. I can probably get it for $300.
Heck yeah man! DO it!
