Motorcycle Repair: where to find a carburator, 1980 honda cm400t, vintage honda

Question
Hi, I have a 1980 Honda CM400T that I am trying to get running, and providing things go as planned, I will be to the point that I will need a carburator for it soon.  The one on it is in bad condition , and while I was trying to clean it i sheared something off.  So I'm thinking its a gone-er.  I didnt know maybe someone that has been in the motorcycle buisness for a while might know a good place to look for one.  I have looked on ebay, but all of them on there have been sitting around for years, and I don't think that does them any good.  On online parts stores they run about $400, if they are available.  I think I read somewhere that they dont make them anymore.   So I guess my question is , do you know of a place I could get a decent carburator for a 28 year old bike? Thanks a bunch

looks like a good bet.

check also www.motorcyclecarbs.com

www.westernhillshonda.net is a vintage Honda dealer

Honda stops making parts for bikes older than 10 years.

Most any of the CM/CB 400T carbs are going to work for you, other than the ones for Automatics.
