wow, just skipped through this.. lovely work!! Interesting to see your front fender sits as high as mine due to the bracket.. Are you leaving it as it is? I only ask not as a critism just I've been wondering what to do with it... it will look better in black I think. Heres my build.. nice...

Will let you know how it goes!

Yes I'm considering cutting out 1/2 inch section of each leg of the bracket and welding together, I may need help with this lol! Ok thanks I need to get sanding then as looks incredible!

Looking great Dan.. I used UHT paint , think it was Simoniz stuff in black on my XS750.. Its been amazing stuff and petrol has leaked on it and caused no issues. Quick question.. you mudguard looks really nice and low, mine sits too high, I'm using std bracket but its a good inch to high, I...

Looking good, couple of questions - what was the process used to get that hanger so shiny? Also front fender.. I've just cut mine down and started to play around.. but its on a standard bracket and fits really high.. I wondered what positions yours fitted as maybe I can use a 350 bracket???

Friends down for the weekend so not huge progress but finally got all the 2 pack paint off the tank an into primer, needs filling and sanding but its just nice to get in into a workable stage! New pads arrived too so rear brake set up all working, awaiting custom sprockets and chain plus the...

That will look great, I could really only get away with a 2.5" rear and running a 120 tyre as its a 400/4. Luckily my friend runs a wheel shop.. these cost me some cider.. ! but the rest of the bike is a drain on resources at the moment! ha"! Good luck with the TR1, my friends dad has one in...

Very nice... I just got these!! :)

Thanks.. I cant wait to build it up once I have the engine back! I'm a bit unsure about the back of the bike.. I really want to carry a pillion so my girlfriend can hop on but want to make it look better than the huge stock seat.. so lots of tea drinking looking at the bike with some mates...

Also my Delkevic arrived.. a big deliberation over the beautiful OEM pipes vs the Delkevic but I wanted to create a bike that was different and I'm very happy!

Bit more work last night, finished restoring the rusty old airbox, and chuffed with the rubber mounts bought from china for £2.. they took 4 weeks to arrive but can't fault them. Sprayed up the foot rest mounts so a few more coats later tonight. New rear pads arrived but still waiting on the...

Delkevics for the CB400f project!

Just skimmed your build Sonic.. lovely bike!! I've just had a full Delkevic system arrive today.. I'm now getting very excited about this bike... its sounds crazy as its my 3rd build but its suddenly dawned on me when its finished I will have a brand new CB400f SS with a twist! This bike will...

Slow progress this week due to work, but managed to get side panels painted, engine off to be painted and I have a rolling bike finally. One the engine is in next weekend we can really start to crack on, custom sprockets are being made too! Then I can focus on mudguards but we are problem...

Hi Dan, I'm at the stage of cutting the mudguard.. I just wondered what you used to cut as its a similar look to what I'm doing, Also it sits real close to the tire is this the standard height or have you used a taller tire. Just curious as I want to run my mudguard nice and tight to the tire.

coming on well, I have a local custom bike shop so taking it down there once the tanks primed up and engine in to look at options for seat etc. I wish I had a few days off to be able to get my head into the build but its an hour or so each night.. but in truth I'm enjoying it and have a few...

My lads been racing so little progress but Tyres fitted ok, 120 rears, 100 up front . Polished up the rear axle spacer too.. what a difference!!

Wow youve put me to shame, and I did not expect to see this come on so well. lol !! .. I've only just got my tires fitted and wheels lined up last night! Its looking great.. what you doing with the mudguards Dan? Also engine have you sprayed it with High temp? Finally... did you lift it in...

I see what you are saying but I don't think it looks to bad actually.. !

Finished a few more items ready for Install last night, Side panels off for paint and engine getting prepped for paint as well. I'll pop the tank in primer over the weekend. Tonight's job is to polish up the rear wheel spacers and start prepping all the bits for the rear links and rear brake...
