1981 CM250T

blackeagles:
I'm buying a 1981 CM250T with a bit of paint damage to tank.

Anyone know the paint name and/or paint code of the light red and dark red 'decal' with the Honda badge of the tank?

Deano400:
RSbikepaint website gives it as

Candy Bourgogne Red / Brownish Red Metallic

Don't know if it's accurate or not.

Oddjob:
One of my BILs had one of those in blue, he loved it. Even now he hankers back to it although I think he'd prefer the CM400T version for the extra power these days.

Make sure you check the balance chain adjuster, it runs out of movement room real quick and you need to remove it and move it a few splines to get it to work again.

Forgive my ignorance but what is a "balance chain adjuster"??
