Re: Honda CB400F Track/Street Bike "Goldie"

almost forgot about the wheels. I ordered a MX wm2 Excel front and MX wm3 Excel rear. Buccannon's is doing the stainless spokes and stainless nipples. The hubs will be getting powerdercoated a satin black. Then it's time to lace them. The front should lace right up and the rear may need a quick once over with a chainsaw file for the angle.

Filler is done on the frame. Just have to hit the areas with 180 and scuff any remaining areas. I'll have it in primer by Monday.

Re: Honda CB400F Track/Street Bike "Goldie"

Quick update, spokes are getting done and should have them in a week-2 weeks. Getting my hubs powdercoated and then can lace the wheels.

Also got the ractech goodies coming for the forks, kevin is working on the lower triple and race axle for me (ttr400) and framecrafters got my specs sent to racetech for my shocks.

Crank is in que for work at ape, Miker sent my rods off and all machine work is getting done now.

Alot to go but timeline looks good for april to fire the bike (fingers crossed)
 
Re: Honda CB400F Track/Street Bike "Goldie"

Very excited. Framecrafters has started on my swingarm, my excel wheel hoops arrived and sanded the frame.
