Thanks everyone. The idea behind this build was to keep it as light physically and visually as possible. My brother wanted something that would be as at home on the street as it would on a gravel road while keeping two-up capability. Changing to the Mikunis and the 2-1 exhaust pepped it up quite...

I finally turned this bike over to my brother today, after a long and intermittent build. There are still a few tweaks to be made, like proper length clutch cable and badges on the tank. Unfortunately, they were not big enough issues to keep by brother from taking it home. (Please disregard the...

Thanks. I have access to a cm400 parts bike and will be picking up the yoke this weekend.

I am working on a 1979 Honda CB400T. The stamped steel upper fork bridge on this thing is a total POS. Even with the fender snugly in place, there is a lot of play in the forks. DCC has a selection of these for other Honda models. Does anyone know if there are other model fitments possible for...

Thanks for the offer, lhernandezr. From some other research I have been doing, I may be going with VM30 instead of VM32's.

I am building a CB400T tracker for my brother. I want to convert to Mikuni carbs, as the current ones are shot. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for what set-up I would need (What size, etc.) Thanks for any help you might have.

My original thread on this build is here http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=44456.0 The project has been on hold while spooling up some more funds. Last weekend my brother hit me with an infusion of capital, so off to the internet i went, and parts were on the way. Some love from DCC...

Great looking bike.

I put a thread on the process of doing the seat here http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=49103.0

Here it is on the bike. It will still need another round of stretching to get it as smooth as it needs to be, but you can get the idea.

Then my brother sewed it up.

Once we had a good fit on the tests, we transferred the pattern to the cover material.

Now we made the pattern. Not shown is the two or three test covers we made from scrap fabric refining the pattern.

Test fit with the tank to see how it's working out.

While I was shaping foam, my brother started making the diamond quilted top.
