God I wish I could upvote on this site But Mike, this thing is gorgeous. I saw it on Reddit and fell in love instantly. Great job

Here's my build in progress. Note the beginning where I get chewed out for being a noob. lol. I've learned SO MUCH since starting this build. http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=57374.0

Okay cool man. I'm probably going to go down one on the front. The roads around here don't go faster than 45 unless you get out n=in the country. And with all the stop lights and stop signs in Nashville, it's probably better to get going a little quicker. Thinking about it, I'll try going both...

Okay cool. Making sure. Is there a way to increase both acceleration and top speed with gear ratios or will that have to come from increasing compression and displacement in addition to gear ratio? Different note, mechanic/machinist friend just picked up bike to do frame mods. should be done...

I have a question about gear ratios. I plan on going down one tooth on my front sprocket, which as I understand it, will increase my ratio and give me better acceleration and higher RPMs. What will that do to my top speed? Will it decrease?

Like, the value painter's tape at walmart. Comes in a 3-pack.

It's been awhile, I know. But I have been doing some work on the bike. MY friend is picking it up Sunday to do the frame work that I want done to it and then it'll be electrical, exhaust, changing sprockets, the chain and some gaskets and it'll be ready! And that'll take a grand total of about a...

Joon, they're the stock CV's right now. And I will check it out, see what I can find

+1 to that. I'll see if a friend of mine can get parts for cheaper. But until then, I'm just going to replace all the oil and dust caps n stuff on the stock ones

I'm gonna go with stock until I have $2k to drop on a gsx-r or CBR front end. Right now my goal is to get the frame where I want it to be and get the tank to not look like a pumpkin. I think I've figured out a way to keep the stock tank with an after market seat. We'll see how my theory holds up.

I think I'm going to go with option 1. I'm borrowing an idea from sbuagz's 450 tracker build but I'm going to style the frame a little differently. I'm going to mount the suspension the same way he did though. I've also decided to actually take an idea from classified moto and use perforated...

Okay cool. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks man. Can't wait to see it done

It's looking great man! I'm working on my CB400T right now and I;m running into the problem with the frame. I really like how you did yours so I think I might borrow that idea and tweek it a little for my own purposes. question, what tank is that? the 400T tank is hideous so I'm looking at...

Thanks man, I'll probably do a rebuild on the shocks and definitely keep the stock air box and make some kickin side covers for it. Something aesthetic that I'm foreseeing being a problem is the seat. Stock, the seat covers the bolt that holds the tank in place. I'm not able to figure out right...

Thanks for the read. But I think I'll heed gijoe's advice and stay with the stock air box since this will be used exclusively for the street. As for front fork internals, where would I find these? I know that DCC doesn't stock replacement springs for the 400T. Would it be to my benefit to grab...

What would be the advantage of the mikuni round slides over the stock setup? This isn't all about looks for me, I want it to be able to perform too by the end of this. How do I get my mid range to improve? I've talked to Sonreir briefly about this and he said the first two things I should do is...

Well, let's get this thing to perform better then. I would love to have it cut corners like a pro and not start wimping out around 90 mph. Also acceleration sucks, but I think that has more to do with the weight of it than anything else. What if I did something like this but kept the airbox and...

Not that much performance to begin with. Again, this is all up in the air and I'm open for any suggestions. I don't like how the seat is and I would like a more cafe look out of it. I'm not against re-doing the frame for this look, but I would have to figure out how to re-mount the air box and...

When I got the bike in the summer, I stripped to about where it is now and re-did the carbs. The jets are screw in jets and buying new jets isn't a huge deal nor is it expensive. Getting the carbs off isn't that bad either. Getting them on sucks though. When I say first project, I mean a...

Not yet. I'll probably end up selling some of the stock parts
