    Left Cylinder Not Firing

    Hi guys - I'm trying to get a 1980 CM400T running that has been sitting for roughly 30 years. I was finally able to get the old girl started today, but only the right cylinder was firing - left exhaust was cold while the right was piping hot after a minute or so. Things I've done so far are...

    1981 CM400C refresh (with handmade wood side covers)

    This is my first motorcycle, and I got it about 9 years ago. I'm generally a fan of the stock look, but my other vintage bikes are earlier (72 - 78) and the stock CM400C has cruiser accents that I personally don't care for, especially the stepped seat, shape of the side covers, and design of...

    Hey all, I saw a picture of a 82 Nighthawk 450 scrambler build, and I absolutely loved the look of the rear fender in particular. Would the rear fender cowl from this bike fit up with an '80 CM400t, or is it a lost cause? Here's the picture I saw in question:
