HONDA CM400 CAFE BUILD or Crap To Cool Crap

"Hey bro...your piece of crap is almost as cool as mine...!"

Three valve head and a honda smooth 5 speed gearbox

Who are we kidding here...these things are CRAP. Take the bike apart, and one quickly understands the term "de-contenting". The CM line was clearly an economy ride for the faint of heart. They are plentiful and cheap. So... $100 later...I got one. Then I got two more! these are as common as house flies. The strange thing is, there's a weird sort of following for these cucarachas. Please if you own one of these, and are fond of it, dont take it personally. Ill try to make some positive comments now that may make you feel a tad bit better about your ride. First off, even Hondas crap is pretty good. The Honda company is a class act and their engineering is often astounding. Second, hmm ...ok,  I'm stumped. Well any way, I was gonna shine my turd and get the few parts it needed to make it ride-able and then flip it. When I started looking at the list of parts, the restoration was beyond any sale price. Off it went to the butcher shop! This build is a combination of no holds barred and no money spent. Basically, try to do it all with rattle can and torch. so far the only money spent was on a set of those funky bullet turn signals. This will be a good build to watch in the blog because I will cover a bunch of good stuff like cable shortening and how to fuck up a perfectly good tank. Stay tuned followers, guests, and fellow cyclehackers. Oh by the way, a big HELLO  the folks in Indonesia that are looking at my blog...wtf.
