i just inherited a 1980 honda cm400... its needs a little work, but i am willing to do it... my problem is i cant find parts...
my local parts center can only order a few parts because its so old... i checked out dennis kirk... but the same thing, nothing goes back that far...
anyone know a great company that sells parts for a bike that old ??? i would love to restore this bike... but i just cant find the parts...
and another thuing... it needs to be cheap...
Thanks...
Mike

Check out this site:

Also, look for message boards dedicated to the CM series bikes, or old Hondas in general. The Internet community can be a great source of spare parts.

Go to Yahoo groups and check out "Honda CM450".
It is a group dedicated to late 70's and early 80's Honda CB, cm motorcycles. I am a member and have gotten some good advice there.
They probably have some info for you.
