    1977 CB400F - Full Project

    Surffly, For the rear wheel installation I used all the Ninja 250 spacers, including the rear brake caliper bracket. However, for the chain tensioner adjuster, I used the stock from the CB400F. The front sprocket is the stock 16T. The chain is a 535 DID and the rear sprocket is the Ninja 250...

    Re: SL350 Super Motorsport Project Great build. I like the color scheme a lot. I used the same colors in my CB400F. Keep up the good work http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=29695.0

    Thanks guys. Huge Senna fan here. The helmet is a homage to the best F1 race driver ever, imo.

    1977 CB400F - Full Project

    The project is finally complete. It took quite some time and sweat but it's done. Took for a 3-mile test ride around the neighborhood and it ran quite well for a bike that was sitting for several months during the project and 25 years prior to that. The exhaust is quite loud but it will do...

    1977 CB400F - Full Project

    I am using the stock seat pan and attaching the seat cowl on it. I had to trim the metal pan in order to fit. See the pics below. These are just a mockup. The tank and seat are the last thing to go on the bike but I could not resist to see how it's gonna look like when it's done.

    1977 CB400F - Full Project

    Got the frame back from the Powder Coating Company. It took them 28 days, instead of the 10 days promised. At least the parts are here and ready to begin assembly. Assembly begun last Saturday (7/23). Engine placed in the frame. Not a lot of progress that day since I had to order a pair of...

    1977 CB400F - Full Project

    I think I finally have the rearsets issue resolved. It was an issue because since I have started this project, there was no other component that I spend the most time thinking about than the rearsets. I really thought at some point that I would be able to hacksaw the 3/8 aluminum plate and...
