In this series I reassemble a Honda CM400t that I purchased in boxes and build a cafe racer. Part 1 - Intro and parts inventory Music: www.bensound.c...
Oh good I'm not the only one who buys Box Troll's. Actually bought two from the same seller, but there was no organization or preparation for reassembly planned. Most all the Honda's rarely have their OEM Exhaust, and mostly because that is singly the most expensive item on the parts tree. Seen people buy the sketchiest of failed builds just for things like factory exhaust, fuel tanks, and complete carbs just for their expense by themselves. The extra bars are flat drag bars, and the original equipment has a fair amount of rise, and more pull to the rear. Wishing you luck with your own Box Troll. Mines mostly cured with the exemption of many broken parts I found inside the cartons only later on. Best wishes!
I also have one here in Kansas. I bought it from a kid it's wasn't running. Piston rod came apart while running down a freeway. 😬😬😬 I bought it with the purpose of a total tear-down and rebuild. Rebuild is in process.
I have a 79 cm400t just sitting in my garage. Wanting to source parts, but I'm having a tough time. Any leads on where to find parts to build my cafe racer out? Love your videos by the way! Cheers from New Mexico.

You said you wanted the cb1 400f. I'm selling it. It would be nice to reconnect.
are those the original forks?
Yep, as far as I know.
Why would he powder coat the frame before welding on a hoop..? Weird.
Kyle McAnallen I think there are seat kits that fit the frame as is. I can only guess though.
