Down under, an idiot and a 400F

Awesome mate ;D LOVE that front guard, great work on those brackets too :P and HEY it's got front and rear boots 8) I'm looking forward to touch down and seeing how she looks with a pilot in the saddle for the stance ;)
 
I can't wait to actually get it to a rolling chassis. It's taking a while but hopefully it will be a roller soon, then I can start putting the motor back together :)
 
Damn it's looking good.
The stretched tank looks almost 'factory'
If you hadn't posted pics it would just look like the flattened sides, always the sign of a good customisation 8)
 
Cheers PJ. Couldn't have done it without you; literally!

The tank is not perfect but pretty good, just some minor tweaking in the filler coat and I think it should be fine. Will be farming that out I think as I want the paint job to be top notch.

I think I might go and visit ducatiboys painter as his turned out incredible.
 
I just noticed the spacers on axle, is wheel centered with them like that?
I machined them to sit flush with fork with stock wheel, torque axle, set flush, tighten pinch bolts
Front end does look real good completed with rim, tyre and mudguard
 
I had them slightly offset to the left because I hadn't centered them properly when the old fender was on there. I had set the caliper spacers in that location too so had to adjust them before pushing the axel through any more.

A few taps and it should sit flush, be centered for the fender and then I will sort out the spacers for the calipers.
 
Ha, 8)
Whatever works ;)
Won't be an issue, I just didn't remember making them like that ;D

Can I check which bit you're referring to, just want to make sure we are on the same page. Is it reference to where the axle spacers are sitting in the fork leg (1 slightly recessed, 1 slightly proud):

Going to push the button on my gauge in the next week or so:

It comes in a 6k or 12k tachometer. I assume I need the 12k for a CB400F?
 
I have not seen one before but would be willing to give it a go if it was in my price range (not likely). Who makes them Neevo?
 
Made in Taiwan I think, but the cheaper option seems to get some good reviews. This is their premium line with analogue tacho needle. $359 AUD delivered.
 
Ouch. Well Taiwan do make some fairly awesome things when they are in that price range. So I take it electric speedo and mech tacho. Looks like it even has a temp gauge. Seems like a decent unit.
 
Yeah, elec speedo, analogue tach, air temp, engine temp, fuel gauge (with a sender), RPM shift light, neutral light, turn signal lights, oil pressure light, temp warning sensor, lap timer, clock and all the usual trip meter stuff.

A few $$$$ but seems to be high quality.

Other option is the Motogadget but that's serious coin ($600 approx) and only speedo and tacho. Sweet bits of kit though.

I've already wired the bike for the Acewell so was looking for some positive feedback before I dropped the dollars.
 
Hmm seems worth it for all that. Especially because it has a sender. What is the warranty like though?
I was thinking of an Acewell as well. Seems a good bet for the cost.
 
Not sure but the distributor in Aus seems legit (S3 Performance). They are the best prices around too :)

Looks like I might be the guinea pig then.

Edit: just checked S3 website, Acewells come with 12 month warranty.
 
Acewells are great gauges, plenty of them out there. I've run one for 4 years now with no problems at all, you'll be happy with it.

Cheers
Steve
