New CB400F member from Los Banos Ca

[Slams77]

I own a 1977 CB400F that I have been slowly fixing and modifying for the past year and a half, and I have gotten some useful ideas from Do The Ton members which have assisted me in repairing and customizing my bike. Great community and I look forward to being part of it.

Thanks everyone,
Yes, I have been in Los Banos for about six years now and it's still pretty small lol. Cool place, I like it.
Here is my 400 in its current state. I have bobbed the front fender, grinded the triple tree (still work in progress) added clip-ons, a manx seat, and changed out some of the electrical components. Since I like canyon carving, I am going to place more of an emphasis on things like suspension and brakes, plus I figure by removing or replacing parts to lighten it up, I can use more of its available horsepower.

very nice bike! what you have done with it so far looks great!

 

[VonYinzer]

Hell ya man! Very cool! That is a killer looking bike!

Thanks again, it’s definitely going to be a rider. I still have to sort out some of the electrics (new ignition switch, mini gauges) and get a new master cylinder and it should be on the road again soon.

The seat is great. Homemade? Very early original 60s Thruxton in style.

No, I picked it up from from Clubman Racing. I think it really fits the look and it's lighter too.
