Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) I decided to make a second generation indicator light cluster that I will be using in place of the one I currently have on my build.

Or maybe a temperature sensitive seat pan using that flexible sheet stuff.

Thanks again guys. I had bought some pre-wired with built in resistor LED’s with chrome bezels and clear bulbs from eBay for a few bucks shipped and I used them in my first cluster. They work great; I just wanted to add some color to another cluster I am building. Thompsonmx100, the LED’s in...

Thanks for the input, I'll take a look at the places mentioned.

I am building another indicator light cluster and saw this style LED and was wondering if anyone has used them with good results. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LED-12v-INDICATOR-LIGHT-pilot-dash-signal-toggle-BLUE-/390282495048?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5adea64448

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Great advice PHeller, I appreciate your interest and feedback. I have thought about this quite often which is one reason why I haven’t gone through with modifying the frame during the time I have had it and why I still search craigslist for a spare one...

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) I will try and make a seat pan base that will work using the existing hinges but if I am unable to do it they will be cut off. I also plan on cutting off any unnecessary tabs and the passenger peg brackets along with rear of the frame and maybe adding a...

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Thanks guys, here is a link to where I got the LED's and I included a picture of what they look like when turned on (oil,neutral,left,right winker). I also use radio shack sice they do have a large selection of stuff I have needed...

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) My headlight brackets which were inspired by twistedwheelz who posted a how to in the $50 mod thread. I just played around with them a little until I achieved the look I was going for.

Man, tears are still falling from my eyes from laughing so hard! That was a good one.

Awesome riding! The Texas Tornado didn't look the least bit phased by it.

Should’ve worn his seatbelt! ;D

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Thanks again. I want it to be functional first and look nice second and it seems like it’s starting to come along. Oh, and of course I’m also trying to shed it of some weight.

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Cleaned and soda blasted my calipers. Next is polish then stainless brake lines.

Snapped these photos at Infineon Raceway last year.

Re: Cafe Project Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Thanks. I had this idea floating around in my head for a while and figured that if was able to reshape the triple tree; I would be able to make my own instrument light cluster. I like that it is inconspicuous.

Re: Cafe Projcet Chela (My 1977 CB400F) Thanks everyone. I love the way pictures can make things appear nicer than they really are, but this bike did start out pretty nice. And being that it had a 75/76 tank, what looks like non US handle bar switches, spliced wiring harness, and other...

I have followed DTT for a while now and decided to join in April of 2010. I have been very inspired by members’ builds and appreciate the abundance of resources the community has provided, and I often look here for ideas and answers. This is my 1977 CB400F as it sat when I purchased it back in...

Thanks Kantcoy. I just saw you over there too. Sweet rides, I'm sure I'll be getting ideas from you.
