New Rear Fender for CM400T

[RocketMan]

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:

Moved to SOHC Twins Miscellaneous section.

LDR would know about the fitment, he'll be along later on the west coast.

Awesome! LDR seems to know almost everything I need to know :lol:

It can be done after adding the appropriate mounting brackets. Here's a '85 CB450SC frame and an '81 CM400. White tag is the SC frame

The SOHC models are his wheelhouse, the DOHC 450s are mine.

Gotcha - so it seems like I'd need to fabricate some tabs and pop them onto the frame. That sounds doable, but labor-intensive (esp for a below-amateur welder). I'd probably put that on the backburner for a bit until I get the main, functional bits sorted first.

Thank you, LDR!
