I think it's the fugliest 400four I've seen for a long time.  I'd have the engine and,  maybe the wheels, brakes etc.  The rest can go in the skip. 
Dieffe's bike is a thousand times better than that.
On second thoughts,  I wouldn't have those piss catcher wheels either - just the tyres.

Where's that 10mm socket got to?

 not the most easy on the eye for the 409 purist ..but built for racing by the looks of it...so they all kinda all look the same...I don't suppose he was to bothered about clutch cable retaining rings and cable brackets...and really there's not much of a 400 left?
I've never heard the term piss catchers for the flanged rims but if there was ever an apt name for a item that is it??????

I just had another look at alk the pictures ..first thought was I bet those pipes sound great...but looking at the rear shot they look like they could act like stabilisers
