Great thanks for the info. Just to check..... Are your prices in USD or Canadian dollars? Thanks Ashley

These look really nice, i like the simple mounting and the fact that the position is not too extreme (im 6 foot tall riding a 400 4). Im interested but need to crunch some numbers to work out if i can afford the total cost, I will let you know by the end of the week wether to put my name down...

In the uk for 2 years recently with my plate pointing up nearly, never got pulled for it, took a bit of charm at mot time but some places let u get away with it. Side mount is allowed in uk but there are strict rules on the angles it can be seen from behind. Do a quick search on google i once...

it is indeed a pain with mot's, although ive got away with a lot by taking it to a place with enthusiasts, guys that ride old bikes etc that work there.

thanks, bikes not running great at the moment, the cheap muffler i fitted has made it run lean so either gonna try diff jets or make the muffler more restricitive! pm me when you head down to ace this summer and ill come meet you... have at look at the calender as some days you can get there n...

hey all, im from west london, and ride a noisy cb400f. i live about 10 mins from the ace...

Re: Project Celeste, CB400four....reaiizing my dream bike. this build is so good, im always looking for a hot 400 4 build to follow! ashley

very very cool, i need to get yellow ht leads like that! ( i have a yellow 78 cb400..) couple of questions... did you have any problems with the tarozzi clipons hitting the tank? also what did you find when you drop the front end lower, its something im considering to see how it sharpens up...

ok, for some reason i cant get img to directly link from imageshack, so photos are one click away im afraid! ashley

thanks tim, using imageshack today :) definately much more fun to build it yourself! n has only cost 15 Pounds so far so pretty cheap too.. it is indeed the stock tank, im gonna keep the original colours n paint the cowl yellow once i find a match. heres some more pics of recent work...

some more updates... realised that its gonna be a pain to staple/attach a vinyl seat cover to the alloy seat pan, so added some ply to the base, and some at the rear to allow me to screw the alloy cowl to it (have access to a mig welder.. but ive never tried it so would rather not mess up my...

hey, just measured today and at the widest points its 24cm, although u could probably get it down to 23cm if needed. ashley

did some work finally, gonna try for an all alloy setup as my wood had bowed. ive cut the basic seat pan and used stock mounting and hinges, used some of the original rubber to help support the seat. need some more rubber to press down on the tank as its a little loose at the moment. the seat...

thanks man, its not gonna end up a full rebuilt cafe like some of the amazing bikes here, i kinda want it to look old and bashed a bit, and definately keeping the yellow. need to get someone to mix me some that matches so i can paint the hump! i had a street triple before this, and while it was...

hello all, i lurk a lot here but thought i would post my seat plans for my cb400f. i thought about buying a seat for ages, but really theres not much fun in that. so the plan is to have the base/frame of the seat in 1.5 mm ply. i wanna use the stock hinges and catch so that it opens like a...
