    CB400n cafe build - Uni Student - Australia

    So it has been a little while.. (to say the least!) but I have finally found the drive to finish this bike! Got my degree done and dusted and finally have the time/money to really give this thing a good shot. I got stuck on the seat (and the awful frame) but I have a metal fabricator mate who...

    Deus ex machina?

    just noticed the deus thread. whilst i completely agree their bikes are way overpriced you guys should check out the deus bali shop. pretty cool stuff going on there. and while i have bought a few deus clothes (only when they're on special!) I think what they're trying to do with all the events...

    CB400n cafe build - Uni Student - Australia

    turns out the taper bearings did fit after all - rubber seal at the bottom of the shaft just had to be removed. would anyone know where to get hold of an intake manifold for the bike? I'm guessing the 250n/t and 400t ones would be interchangeable with it. ordering the gauges from dime city...

    CB400n cafe build - Uni Student - Australia

    hi guys I've been pretty busy with exams and assignments/moving house so not much has happened to the bike. tried to head stock bearings and just my luck they don't fit. So I have to get them replaced which will take some time. To make up for not working on my bike I went to a classic motorcycle...

    CB400n cafe build - Uni Student - Australia

    hi Deano looks good - got any plans for it? keeping the original seat pan? My plan is to keep the original seat pan (or at least the bit that clips on so i can remove it without tools) then weld on a bracket to make the bit that clips in under the tank longer (as the new tank is shorter). I've...

    CB250N / CB400N Speedo - Ratios and Mini Speedos?

    I know pretty much nothing about speedo drives and the like and like you from cheking out what other people have to say I've come to the conclusion the my bike (1982 CB400N) has a speedo ratio of 2240:60. The speedos on the dime city cycle page generally run at 2400:60 but I was told that this...

    thanks for that peteGS - just ordered them - as a steering kit. $47.50 - not too bad and i really need to get them to get on with getting a rolling chassis going. not sure if i need wheel bearings, and the swingarm bushes seem fine. Found these shocks. fourth down the page - seem pretty cheap...

    CB400n cafe build - Uni Student - Australia

    sure thing. I don't. I just want a good looking bike. that's the plan. amazing the things one can get away with when you play dumb. I'm keeping the original bars to get it through - ill just change them afterwards. QLD regs are pretty stringent.

    Hi Dan74u - sounds like what happened to me when i got mine (also on ebay)! For me its a few things that lets the old Superdream down in the "cafe" department. The engine is really wide, its also a stressed member (part of the frame structurally) and this goes against the traditional look for...
