A good night.. finally got more of the loom swapped to gold bullet connectors, decided to gently solder each one to secure them and taken lots of weight out the loom. I also fitted my modified rear fender... I think it works..! Tonight I have some lights to try and mock in under the seat.. will...

Two lovely bikes.. shame to sell them!

Ha ha.. cheers all especially Limey.. I'm sure she would be most greatful!!

Done the same here.. Triumph Daytona carbs on mine too.. ran good straight out the box!

I finally got my seat back. So its using the original base but with a 2.5" section taken out and re fabricated. The Upholsterers did a great job of my design and couldnt be happier with it!! Also got the mudguard cut out so will post some pics.. its made for a challenge of what type of rear...

Oops think its Nardo Grey... like this; Will run a thick black stripe using the lines on the top of the tank with two outer 5mm coach lines. Then Red Honda decal, black out line and black Super Sport logo. Just been down to my painter so doing it week after next.. getting close to finished!!!

Yes the tank looks kinda cool, its just in primer and some old satin black I did ages ago after stripping the tank. The plan is RS4 nano grey, correct SS decals and then a gloss black triple stripe.

Thanks so much.. its been such a long project I can almost taste summer bike nights at my local pub!

Been some slow work recently, Finally solved the gear linkage issue so the right side of the bike is done, sorted the rear brake and linkage, rewired the points loom and rear brake switch to be shorter so looking really neat now. I have bought a rear fibre glass fender.. (needs paint) its for...

Welcome Tom, I love the XS750 having built mine into a cafe racer... she is more cafe than racer though! If you get hold of an 850 loom from 81 onwards this has electronic ignition and 2,000 miles on and had no issues for me, it has a fairly hefty CDI box but I managed to relocate under the...

Looking good... excited to see where it goes!

Phew, some work over the weekend and found a poor fitting kick start seal was preventing the return spring from working! So all good! Next up are the rear indicators, on my XS750 I don't have any but for this bike its a must, I cut down the original mounts as too long and I think they turned...

I have this issue with my CB400f popped on a new Cam chain but the horseshoe is stuck.. she runs lovely but I will have to split the cases to sort this once it starts to stretch. I'll only do 500 - 1000 miles in a year so it will be ok for a bit I hope.

Thanks very much.. !! Its slow progress, I could probably finish it in a day with some time off work.. but it would be rushed. I have just gone ahead with the custom seat .. the original frame has been cut and welded to simply be a bit shorter than original and I hope my design comes out in...

Ah well that's just temporary to hold the loom together.. I'm not wrapping it up yet as I have a problem getting charge to the battery and still need to finish some wiring! As for the connectors I've used slim gold OEM type connectors in most places.. the ones you see are for the horn and the...

Its been a while.. loads of issues and other projects taking up time. Main issue is it appears the cam tensioner is stuck. For now I have a new cam chain on and everything is where it should be, she runs sweet so I'll crack on for now but at some stage I'm going to need to split the cases. With...

Cheers mate, I'm trying to create it looking like a modern take on the original CB400f like it came from the factory.. tank will be RS4 nano grey, with a gloss black stripe.. apologies to thread hijack !!

Wow amazing work and story.. just spent 20mins skimming through.. ! Here's my cb400f so far.. mines very much standard but a few subtle tweaks.. waiting on the seat to be upholstered... money and time is a limitation with other projects.

Looks lovely mate.. not a fan of the Met Green and gloss black but that's just my opinion.. really quality build ! I finally had my project running at the weekend.. still loads to do! What paint did you use on the engine..? I've had issues getting decent paint.

Good luck and yes my mrs said if you are making Another bike... can I at least fit on the back please!!
