CB400F Fairing!

[diesel450]

Hey guys, I haven't been around too much lately sorry bout that. I haven't done a build thread on my last few projects But I will start one for this. Next up for me is 75 CB400F. I'm wanting to do it fully faired and I found this picture!!



SICK!

This is exactly the look I want for my bike. Does anyone know if this fairing is available for sale anywhere? I've checked GFTP and Air-tech. Nothing. Anyone know who's bike this is? The pic looks seriously photoshopped so the fairing may not even actually exist. Any info would be helpful. If I can't find it I may have to have a go at making it myself.

Hey! I found it on Derestricted.com. Mark Ischepp is the guy and it is just a rendering at this point!

Yup i was going to say that bike doesnt exist.
Sure is sexy though right?

 

[haircuttergirl]

Hot damn, that bike is sexy.

Did some digging, the fairing does not exist commercially. it is just a rendering. Guy is a designer in Austria. Trying to reach out to him to see if he ever had the fairing made.

The seat will be pretty easy. But I have not shaped anything as large as that fairing and its a bit daunting.

I am all about the 400f. I am not generally a fan of fairings. But I can't stop looking at that bike.
I totally dig it.

I wonder if that is something RetroMoto could do. They make fairings, just not sure how custom they go.

I'm not a big fan of fairings either, but is cool as hell. Any photos of the other side? Right side is clearly designed to show off exhaust, be interested to see what the other looks like...

***looked at derestricted.com, nothin' there.

Junior (RetroMoto) is who I was gonna suggest, as well. He's amazing.

Junior could do it out of Alloy and it would be sick. I do not know what it would cost but check his CM400 Fairing he did, it was on your best bike at barber contest on your website, green bike raw alloy fairing with stickers.

I kinda like a full fairing on a CB400f.

 

[diesel450]

I'll check out Retromoto. Haircutter girl (You got a shorter handle?!) I too steered away from faired bikes but a vintage street racer? this is the right idea! Plus the 400f motor is ugly. Fairing it will make the exhaust a focal point. The 400F was the first EVER 4-1 factory exhaust.

400f motor....ugly? Sacrilege says I!

 

[diesel450]

relatively speaking! Seriously, think about in comparison to the beauty of the brit twins or even the XS650, the motor should not be a focal point!!

+1

I wouldn't dream of changing anything on my 400f. Except the handlebars (Eurobars ftw), that AWFUL stock tail light, and the height ('cause I couldn't flatfoot my two year old's tricycle). Ok, and a few other minor things, too.
The 400f is beautiful to me. It has been my #1 favorite since the first time I laid eyes on one. It was then that I decided I must have one in my lifetime... I'm thrilled to have mine in my shop.

Re: shorter screenname comment... The fellas shorten haircuttergirl to HCG most of the time. Or you can just call me Jenn. 8)

LOL don't be too hard on Scott, he wasn't really dissing the motor, it is fine really but it is the exhaust that is the sexiest part of the 400F and with a fairing it will pop. The motot itself is just a nicely finned air cooled Honda. Oh and I will own a 400F sometime in the next 3-5 years, after riding Justins and sitting on Kiley's I have to have one.
