CB400 Track Hack

[Aussieflyer]

I'm very slow with some projects, you know how it is, other stuff gets in the way. Finally have the little 400 rolling on it's own wheels again ... here's a few pics.

The 99% finished product needs just a few tweaks here and there to finish it - new or rebuilt rear shocks, front brake pads, perhaps braided front brake lines. The bike now includes a second hand engine, reworked fuel tank with longer cuffs for taller riders' knees (son and I), reworked Ducati tail (had to cut the rear sub-frame), upgraded front suspension, cheap muffler, clip-ons, sticky Dunlop track/road tyres, removal of all lights, and a simple paint job.



The forks received my ex-cb1100 springs along with Racetech gold valves and 15W oil.



The second hand engine is low miles, works just like it should and looks good.



Now all I gotta do is lose these COVID kilograms acquired during our 7 month lock-down so I can fit back into my leathers to get it on the track!
