Anyone know someone with a 1980ish Honda CM400?

#1 Unread post by red66stang »

I need some help getting my Honda back on the road, my front brake cable snapped a while ago and I have not been able to find a replacement. OEM stuff is discontinued and there's no aftermarket for it either. I'm going to order a custom cable but my original one is on the side of the road somewhere so I can't take measurements. I need ot find someone with specifically a 1978-80 CM400E with the front drum brake and have them take some measurements for me. Thanks.

My bike has a front disc but length should be same if you want me to measure.

Came across this on ebay the other day.

Ordered the cable tonight, hopefully this works. I picked up an 82 CB650 the other night so I need to get the CM ready to sell. Thanks for the link.
