If it don't hit the ton, well it aint no fun!
I posted some of these in the introduction forum, but thought I'd put the build up and back story over here.
I scored this CB400t from a guy who does business with the auto parts store I work at for $75 about 2 weeks ago. It came complete with title, tool kit, owners manual still under the seat and matching Hondaline helmet. He bought it new in '78 from a local bike shop. He rode it to and from work from '78 to '93 when he parked it in the basement. Zoom ahead to 2 weeks ago and i've got the itch to build a little get around scooter and am asking every one I know if they know where I can find a bike on the cheap and bang, I've got a cb400. Right now I've got it tore down to rebuild the carbs, red cote the tank and just generally get her cleaned up before I do some fab work.
Plans include:
ditching the stars for spokes
Inverting the headlight mount and adding clip ons
Fab a 2 into 1
Tail section w/ seat
Paint
This will all be done on the cheap, by me (except the carb rebuild and tuning), with alot of cursing, in my garage which has no power and is to darn far from the house to run an extension cord.
