Question. With those pod air filters on the carbs, what if it’s raining when you’re out riding, will that water bypass the filters and get into the fuel? I’m thinking that’s why the air box was designed that way, to allow riding in the rain?
Hey 👋. I just got one of these bikes and I want to make mine look like yours . I was wondering if you could send the links to the gauge tack you have . And also handlebar switches .
Thanks for the video. I have a 1980 400CM T and my battery is hidden behind plastic panels, a real eye soar as far as I'm concerned. Where did you put your battery?
I have a similar issue with too high of voltage running to the battery. Let me get this straight...off of the regulator/rectifier the red goes to battery positive, the green to ground and black taps into the positive side of the electrical system wiring?
Mankey Mechanics I did, that's how I figured it worked, just wanted a second opinion. My rr was out and was putting out crazy voltage to my battery which in turn fried haha.
Mankey Mechanics can you tell me what jets did you replace(just the main or the secondary too?) I' ve found a web site but I don't know what size to order.thanks
I'm 75 years old and as you can imagine when I first started watching this video and saw how you MUTILATED that poor bike, I wanted to smack you with a newspaper. But, the more I kept watching the more I liked the work you had done. The headlight work is tremendous as are the taillights. Removing the airbox does give you more room to do maintenance on the bike although that gaping hole takes some getting used to. How do you know how to adjust the carb jets to compensate for no airbox? I do HATE that shortened front fender, though. Fenders keep water and mud from being thrown up on you or dirt and gravel.
I'm thinking about buying one of those for myself; my only concern is that they might be a bit smallish (I'm 5'11 / 210 lbs). Just to give me an idea - how tall are you ? Thanks !
@@daweelzondabus no problem, its still a really good beginner bike. You might look a little tall for it, But who am I to judge. just make sure you get it for the right price if you do!!
Its really good at handling and I can guarantee you can move that thing around easy at your height and weight. Me and my pops were planning on trying to turn ours into a chopper haha
Hi! Awesome bike! Im am working on an 81' model and bought the same headlight you have. However, i am having dificulties with the turn signals, they are not flashing. Did you end up using a new flasher? i have two cables that i dont know where to connect. Please advise. Thank you.
Came out really cool, Where did you get the seat?
Do you know where your buddy got the seat?
Nice work! I'm currently on a '79 cm400t rebuild with my 14 yr old

I haveca cm400a hondamatic. It starts on the 1st kick...im afraid to get on it...
Where did you get your seat
Did you just reupholster the old seat or is that aftermarket?
I have the same bike. Where’d you get that seat?
Thanks for the video. I have a 1980 400CM T and my battery is hidden behind plastic panels, a real eye soar as far as I'm concerned.
Where did you put your battery?
Illinois battery specialists. On of my low key sponsors they have been hooking it up with batteries since I turned 16.
Heyy are you still in the Chicago land area??
Nice and clean
Did that seat require modifications?
Adónde puedo encontrar repuestos para el motor de esa moto yo tengo una de esas
These are great bikes.
I have a similar issue with too high of voltage running to the battery. Let me get this straight...off of the regulator/rectifier the red goes to battery positive, the green to ground and black taps into the positive side of the electrical system wiring?
+MrACV24 correct that's how my specific one worked. I would look up a wiring diagram for your regulator
Mankey Mechanics I did, that's how I figured it worked, just wanted a second opinion. My rr was out and was putting out crazy voltage to my battery which in turn fried haha.
Um, rectifier and voltage regulator are NOT the same thing.
How fast can they go? Good for highway use?
I'm 375lbs and mine will do 80 just fine with me on it. I drive it on 4 lane highways at 65+ regularly.
Can you tell me something about the air filters?.did you change the jets?
Yes the jets were replaced with a new set.
Mankey Mechanics can you tell me what jets did you replace(just the main or the secondary too?) I' ve found a web site but I don't know what size to order.thanks
Can you update the jet sizes you used? Still running good? Did you not need any velocity stacks?

Where did you got the seat?
+Edouard Jean-Demers no clue it came with the bike
Hi, where did you bought the seat?
It came with the bike when I bought it. No clue what kind it is.
I'm thinking about buying one of those for myself; my only concern is that they might be a bit smallish (I'm 5'11 / 210 lbs). Just to give me an idea - how tall are you ? Thanks !
Might be a little late, but I'm around 5'7 and the bike is perfect size for me. I'd say its probably not the best pick for you
@@tristan1662 Thanks ! Not too late - bike season still a month away ;)

Did you install the speedo, or did it come that way?
+Jared Gross it came wired in the wrong way.

+Rey Rebolledo yeah i ended up using a new flashing relay.
What kind of exhaust do you have on this bike?
+Jake C honestly have no clue. I purchased the bike with it installed. Never asked the previous owner
I need to know how to wire mine
do you have the same bike?
80 Honda cm400t
Hey I need help wiring mine, I have the same bike
How much did you end up selling this bike for?
I think it will easily sell for €1500-2k
Where did you get the seat ?
