So now im fitting the tank up instead of the bolts to fit it on, its got the rubber bushing mounts. I suppose i couldve gone to honda and ordered som type of bushings but that seems like itd be too easy, i picked up some rubber fuel caps( ???) and cut them and drilled them up, the seem to be...

Im not 100% sure , the only pictures ive seen come up on google images when I search 1978 Honda cb400t theres a boxier version with a stripe across the top, then only one or two pictures of bikes with this tank, i dunno if maybe its a canadian manufacturer difference or something? not sure

yeah I agree, i started sanding it down today and made sure to tape of the stripes to save them ;) although the tanks previous owner did a pretty terrible job when he taped them off to be painted so theres already some black paint on them

Thanks dude, just checked out your 400f, lookin good, I'm definitely gunna be keeping my eye on that one!

Hey man, I'm staying tuned to this one, looks like you've got the perfect base for a sweet tracker

Finished painting the back wheel and mounting it back up, its all coming back together now its nice to be able to start putting it back together again, still waiting on number plates to cover the airbox, but for now i have a few mock ups of how it could potentially end up heres a quick spray up...

Hey this is an awesome build, seems similar to what I'm doing, I'm working on an 82 nighthawk 450 going the tracker look with it too, excited to see how this goes

also I picked up a new tank today, i found it on Kijiji for $15 !!!!! if anybody can identify it thatd be awesome as im not sure what it is but its definitely gunna need a new coat of paint, but as ugly as it is on the outside it is literally flawless on the inside which is really nice, its also...

Hey thanks man, I haven't actually got to road test it yet, its more of a mock-up at this point, being plywood its fairly flexible but I only weigh a whopping 140lbs so it seems to be able to hold my weight alright although I could see it cracking on a big bump if you were to just let your...

Now for my seat I had planned do have it look something like the triumph scrambler, so i was going to use plywood :o and see how that works out i guess, its pretty flexible with how I have it cut out to accommodate the frame but im either gonna try and reinforce it with some steel sheeting or...

Then i completely tore into it so i could rattle can alot of the parts and heavily considering replacing the airbox with the replacement pods, I also replaced the fork seals which wasnt too bad, heres some pictures of the torn down frame and the painting process heard about this card...

Still just been working away, havent really posted anything in a while but ive been taking pictures every so ofte, so i stripped the tank, got some new handlebars and cut out my "seat pan" , it plywood with a cutout for the frame to stick through

Any progress on this lately? I'm working on the same bike , having a fantastic time dealing with the ugly frame because I can't weld, any decisions on the seat?

Hey any new updates on this bike? Wondering how the pod filter setup is running? I was gunna to swap the airbox to pods but have just been told so many times its a pain in the ass, what size filters did you go with ? Any tuning?

yeah! i was actually gunna use that skateboard as the seat pan, and i cut it up too but that frame shape is just not conducive for a bench seat, i sanded up my speedo and tach too, i like the looks of the brushed steel, i think i might just leave them too to match the tank when its stripped...
