Finally getting started on this. God, I'm so sorry for the few of you that have seen my "idea" posts. I have a garage now so I can actually do this! Started taking my 1978 CB400T down to the frame today. Got all the small parts off now I need to start on the exhaust, engine and air box stuff...

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I had the knowledge to do a mono shock system on mine.

Ain't No Rest for the Wicked - Cage the Elephant Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters (yes there is a pun there, laugh dammit!) Just about anything from Everclear Every now and then I like some electronic so Glitch Mob, Daft Punk, C2C and Beats Antique if you're into that stuff Ben Rector. And the...

I found a more accurate picture of what I want the bike to look like in the end

It's looking good! I'm going to follow this because I want to do something similar to my CB400T. I'm looking forward to seeing how your's turns out

Thanks man. I'm definitely starting small. I'll come back with any questions that I have.

The goal would be a happy medium of both. I'm running stock right now and there's not a lot of low-end power but there's an okay amount of high end. I've taken it to a straight and my top speed before it really could not give me any more was 102. And God was that terrifying. I thought it was...

I'm looking at doing some engine and tranny mods to my CB400. Where would be a good place to start?

Can't wait to see where it goes! It's gonna be beautiful in the end. Subed!

So I've decided (now that I've gotten paid) that the first thing I'm going to do is replace the lighting and then the exhaust. I'm having trouble figuring out what I want to do with the exhaust, and part of that is incomplete knowledge. The 400T has the prechamber/transformer/converter thing...

Here's to all the good, long rides that ended with a cold Coca-Cola and a cheeseburger at some local diner!

Thanks guys! I'll keep you posted on the stuff that I do and come back if I have any more questions.

I would like to do something like this:

I think the first thing I'll do is replace the exhaust with something smaller. And louder. That will take a lot of the weight off. Thanks for pointing that out about the front fender, I didn't realize that. I will probably cut both of them shorter. The seat is something I'm a little hesitant...

Totally just realized I posted the same picture twice. My bad! Anyways, any suggestions on where to start would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all! I'm finally starting my CB400 project. Bought the bike a couple months ago and got it running well and now I want to work on cosmetic things and maybe a few performance things later down the line. First thing I want to do is lighten the whole thing up. It is completely stock aside...

What EBC Brake rotor is that? I have a '78 Hawk TII and I'm going to need new brake parts soon.

Amen to that

An update: I found that the second cylinder wasn't firing consistently and ask a mechanic friend of mine what to do. He told me to clean the carbs again and to replace the spark plugs, boots and wires. So I took the carbs off Friday and completely disassembled them and let the pieces sit in carb...

Thanks guys. I'll just JB weld it for now. I plan to invest in a Mac 2 to 2 system in the future for it so I'll hold off on welding it straight.
