David Silver in the UK do one... https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB400F-SUPER-SPORT-FOUR/part_308811/ Looks ok to me!

cheers mate thats really helpful, 110 on the rear it is then! I'm loving this project.. but trying to keep costs down as my track bike is wanting repairing lol

Ok thanks for the feedback yes I think 120 is too much, I have a brand new 100 front and 110 rear.. so I'm going to get those fitted and see how we do. I just wanted to push the rear out a little bit over stock thats all.. I know thats design over function but I think it will be ok.

Great I've emailed.. the inspection covers are a must as well. I have plenty of time.. and thoroughly enjoying this build! What width Excel rims and tire sizes are you using?

Yeah I'm afraid thats correct.. what he said, it sounds like you are already going for it but its really key to make sure the bike handles.. its why I mentioned.. the main function of a cafe racer is taking a stock bike and making it perform better the the original.

I'm playing with my new project and just laced up some new rims, 2.1" front and 2.5" rears. standard the bike runs 90 front.. and 100 rear. With these rims I can run 100 front and 110 rear quite comfortably (Avon Roadriders) , my query should I push to a 120 rear or will that be too much?

New shocks and rims!

Sounds like you are on it, I'm subscribed.. .. You will be finished before my current project by the sounds of it. Are you uprating the shocks at all? riding position?

Great thread.. and project. Rear Sets look great. I've just rebuilt my front caliper on the CB400f if you want an image of the bracket! Do you plan to run electronic ignition.. something I've been thinking about.

Its a shame you've taken it all apart so quickly eager to chop.. my best advice for your first bike build is buy a running bike first! I really would before anything get that bike road worthy and running and mechanically sound. Then you can start the strip down and modifications with a working...

Thanks.. I dont think it will be as gorgeous as Innovative.. I dont have the skills but she will be a nice ride. Innovative you may have just cost me some money, those rear sets are lovely.. I'm emailing him now!

Innovative.. I just noticed your build!! Very nice! Are the rear sets custom made?

They are 18", 2.1" front and 2.5" rear

Thanks all, now I've got them back I think 130 is optimistic and I'll be looking at a 120, rear and 100 front. Engine is staying std apart from electronic ignition.. carbs fettled and a Delkevic exhaust. I want to be able to carry a pillion on this bike so I may use the std seat.. or have a...

Hi, plan to share a bit of my CB400 build project on here.. I picked this bike up a couple of years ago.. in good condition and ran really well, tank was an awful blue and it needed some tidying. But while purists will disagree I felt my CB400 although cool.. for me needs bringing into 2017...

Hi, I've been thinking of joining for a while so here goes.. This is my current cafe racer, I'd like to say its finished but I have a few areas to improve but its a good start for now. I bought this bike 2.5 years ago, too many beers one night and thought buying a bike for £500 off ebay that's...
