{"title":"Honda CM450C Custom Parts and Accessories","description":"\u003cp\u003eHonda's CM series brought the parallel-twin engine format into a comfortable, approachable cruiser package that appealed to new riders and experienced commuters alike. The Honda CM450C Custom runs a 449cc SOHC parallel-twin in a low-seat custom-style chassis with forward-positioned footpegs and a relaxed seating position. This is among the more capable CM models, combining the accessibility of the cruiser format with real mid-size performance. Riders keeping a CM on the road need carb hardware, clutch components, and chassis consumables that match OEM specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePopular Upgrades\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequently ordered parts for the CM series include Keyster carburetor rebuild kits, Barnett clutch friction plates and springs, NGK spark plugs, Emgo exhaust pipes and heat shields, fork seals, drive chain and sprocket sets, and Yuasa batteries. Barnett clutch kits provide better engagement feel than worn OEM plates. NGK plugs in the correct heat range keep combustion clean and prevent fouling on low-mileage runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePerformance and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CM series front forks use conventional oil-damped tubes that benefit from fresh seal sets and oil every 20,000 miles or two years. Rear shocks can be replaced with aftermarket units at the correct extended and compressed lengths to maintain the CM's relaxed riding geometry. Drive chain stretch accelerates sprocket wear rapidly, so replacing chain and front and rear sprockets as a matched set is the most cost-effective maintenance approach. The drum or disc brake hardware is straightforward and responds well to fresh pads or shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat carburetor kit fits a Honda CM450C Custom?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CM450C uses dual Keihin CV carburetors. Keyster rebuild kits supply the correct jets for both carbs, along with needles, float valves, and all gaskets. Rebuilding both units at the same time with synchronized slides prevents the uneven power delivery common on partially serviced twins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat clutch kit fits a Honda CM series?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonda CM parallel-twins use a wet multi-plate clutch. Barnett clutch kits sized to the CM displacement include the correct number of friction plates and steel plates with the right thickness and OD. A fresh clutch spring set is always recommended alongside new plates to restore full clamping pressure and eliminate slippage under hard acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy These Parts Fit Right\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParts are listed with the specific CM variant and model year required for accurate fitment. The CM series shares many components with CB counterparts, and cross-compatibility is noted where applicable. OEM-equivalent specifications mean installation requires only basic tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCM owners interested in related content can browse the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/exhaust\"\u003eexhaust systems collection\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/suspension\"\u003esuspension catalog\u003c\/a\u003e for fork and shock upgrades, or explore \u003ca href=\"\/en-ca\/collections\/air-intake-systems\"\u003eair intake upgrades\u003c\/a\u003e available for other Honda models.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/7920\/collections\/honda-cm450c-custom-parts-and-accessories.png?v=1782250638","url":"https:\/\/www.blackopsautoworks.com\/en-ca\/collections\/honda-cm450c-custom-parts-and-accessories.oembed","provider":"Black Ops Auto Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
