First Time CB400/4 build

[tonym547]

Anyone know anything about this kit? Is it worth it? Kevin from the 400four store said there's been a few guys that have used it? Can anyone tell me how its working out for them, and what kind of performance/compression ratio they're getting out of it?

Here's the link:

Well haven;t been on here in awhile been busy with work and school. Haven't been able to work to much on the bike but did get a lot of parts in and started tearing into the engine. Here's some pics.....

Just waiting on the new cylinders to come in. Getting the frame and tank back in about 2 weeks. Sent it up to Kott motorcycles to get the seat made and the tank painted. Can;t wait to get them back and start piecing it back together.

Nice. You get the MC-Again header from Kevin at 400fourstore?

Yep most of the parts came from him. He's a real good guy to deal with. Helped me out with understanding some things since this is my first build.

Nice! Post up some more pics!

So drove up to Kott Motorcycles and picked it all up. Here's pics of the tank, seat, and rear sets on the frame. I'm loving it!!!!! I'll take some more pics of all the other parts he machined and fab'ed I picked up later. He does an awesome job. You go up there and sit in that garage with all the other bikes he's building and you get so much inspiration. After a long ass drive and hours and traffic it was great sitting there throwing ideas back and forth about my bike and the others in there. Any one needed some work done I highly suggest looking him up.
