Heck yeah!

Solid video and awesome detailed explanation. I am looking at the exact same model. Hope you're enjoying the bike. More videos of you working on the bike would be a good reference for others to fix up vintage rides. Cheers

Thanks for the video. I picked up this exact bike late last summer as an errand runner, grocery getter. Already did the carbs but will now tighten up the chain a bit thanks to your help!

“ I whip it out when I need to , and I put it back when I’m done with it.”
Nice 😎
I have a 79’ CM400A Just Love it
Although I am a bit interested in the CM450A Maybe a 82’ I’ll see what I find. Really good video man. The only thing I I could see that you missed , was maybe telling what size wrenches your bike uses for the slack adjusters, like you did with the axle nut. Peace bro. 🙏

Great video! Thanks for that. I just purchased a 82 450E and I’ll be doing this very shortly as it has 3+ inches of slack on the chain.
I’m not sure if you’ve done anything about it between now and when you posted the video but I did notice a bit of weather cracking on your back tire. I’d definitely look into that as soon as you can!

Can you do another bike video with that zipped up leather biker jacket and some Levi’s jeans and boots?? Show full front and backsides too.....love your videos!

[@auntbarbara5576]

[@auntbarbara5576]

I wish i found this vid years ago, I always fuck this up. Your Uncle Sal says it's bc Im always shitfaced when I do it.
Aunt Barbara adores you!

[@balmoralpjk]

Nice bike! Do you wear any Levi’s jeans in particular or a leather biker greaser jacket with your motorcycle??

[@aninexperiencedmechanic5247]

Thanks! I currently wear a Reax Folsom leather jacket. It’s a great jacket and I got it on sale. Planning on making a review of it.
