Hi all, While I am in a wait for engine rebuild, the show must go on... :) I have painted some things. The instruments were in okay condition, but the instrument faces were faded, as well as some corosion showing. So I started to overhaul them: Paint stripped. The old instruments were...

Yeah, the bended one is for horn i assume, but I cannot figure out what's the other for... There's always something extra when I assemble things.:rolleyes: Spokes and rims are ordered from CMSNL. I don't know the exact torque numbers since i have assebled it by feel, and then took them to my...

Thanks for the input, i have mounted it now. Actually, i've achieved a great milestone- rolling chassis. Another question though for all gurus... What are these mounts for? Should have paid more attention during stripdown...

Here's some more update on the bike, while engine is on hold and waiting for parts... More time at home, more time available to work on the bike :) I have started to build the wheels. I have found some instructions and followed them. Firstly, the front one: Then the last: Added...

Since I do not have it at my place, it's at my Mech's place, I cannot take a look. He says that there is nothing there, no CC stamped. Never mind, I'll take a look when I get cylinders in my hands. Thank you very much for your input. As per piston size and transmission, we'll handle it as it...

Barrels as pistons? Or cylinders? Sorry, english is not my native language. Regards, Kristijan

Fair enough. But, it's the 6 speed trans inside, along with the 51mm pistons. So, I'd say it's not as simple as that. :confused:

Okay, I ran into a serious problem. It seems that I might have a cb350f engine in my cb400f. Engine has been disassembled, and I have seen the serial nubmer: CB350FE-107.... Now, as i see it, there can be two options: 1) that's a CB350F engine 2) The crankcase has been replaced sometimes in...

Agree, that sure is one real gem right there. @trek97, thanks. Yes, i see it now, there is not big of a difference between the painted and non painted alu parts. I might do the same ;)

Feel free to leave the pics, they really show what true vapor blasting finish looks like. Thanks for the input. I assumed it was the whole engine painted at the factory- meaning that includes the Head cover, head,jugs and so on... I would be wrong, I guess. :) Is there a photo what is the...

Excellent work so far. I am watching this one closely, since i'll be doing the same next month. Keep up this way ;)

Some little more progress: Disk bolts have been cleaned and prepared for zinc plating: Brake pump disassembled,paint stripped and ready for paint: Tnx on the info trek97, but now I cannot find my Helmet Holder decals. I know they are out there somewhere, but just cannot find them...

@trek97 thanks a lot. That's exactly what I needed. I know that it sounds stupid but i am looking forward putting all the decals on the bike. These are small things that make whole project little bit more authentic. :)

Thanks for your kind comments. Thanks for the invite @trek97, but I am not a Facebook member and never had been. Weird, I know. :) I might try with my SWMBO's account. I do have a question for all you that have made the restoration of the 400 four before, or anyone who knows: What's the...

Hi to all, This never ending project is making a little big step forward. Finally. I have made an order of few parts from USA, but due to COVID and all the problems with it, it took almost 2 months to receive the parts for the front forks. For the rear shocks i have chosen to upgrade(if it...

Yeah, I think that work on the 400 will be excellent therapy. ;D Paintwork looks good, but it's still not finished and the shine is not on the level I want. Wet sanding, and additional layers of clear should resolve that issue. And in the end, final polishing. We'll see. :o Regards...

Thank you all for your kind words. 8) Unfortunately, just when i have put the gloss coat on the covers and the tank, i have crashed during one of my trackdays. As a result - broken collar bone, surgeries and therapies in the last year. As if it wasn't enough, had to fix my main bike due to...

Thank you all on kind words. 8) Next onto clear cote and polishing, so I can call it a day and proceed to front forks and instruments rebuild. Regards, Kristijan

Maybe I have missed the info, but, what brand of color did you use for engine painting? Great work so far!

Hi all, As I can see, photobucket images are not visible any more... Hope I'll be able to recreate them in the future. In the meanwhile, I'll host pictures from Google Photos, so please let me know if there will be any problems with the display of the photos. TIA. I have been working on my...
