Hello from Mexico!

[Jore]

Hello everyone I've been on the sohc4 forum for a while now and just recently stumbled upon this forum. I have a 1975 CB400F that I used as a base for a project, I've ran in to some snags along the way and that's how it ended up being a 466 project. Currently the motor runs, but it has a minor oil leak and some other issues to address before I can run it on the streets.

Welcome Jore
Always good to welcome a new member to the forum,  especially one that posts interesting pictures.  How much needs doing before it's on the road?

Thanks for the welcome, the bike is a bit more complete now, it's currently missing the headlight to have all of its bits in. But I still need to do a new set of throttle cables since the return binds, the wiring is mostly done and simplified, I changed the regulator and rectifier for solid state ones, the regulator is a ford 4 wire unit. Also the oil galley plug under the alternator leaks and even after 4 o-rings it still has issues, but my major concern is the oil seal behind the timing advancer, since getting parts for these bikes here is a real PITA, and also expensive and slow as hell, I used industrial type oil seals, the problem is that the one I mentioned has the habit of getting pushed out once oil pressure builds up.  And finally, I have to properly setup the clutch.

Here's a short video on the bike starting up:

Thanks for the welcome.

Niko that looks like a good base, the wheels where first cleaned and wire brushed then coated with IIRC a phosphate primer of some sort, it looked bright yellow/lime green once dry, afterwards they where sprayed with primer and painted with polyurethane, they've held up well so far, haven't been nicked or anything, even when putting on the tyres.

Jore, nice looking bike you have there. What colour is that looks like a dark green on the tank. Also the Baloon grips suit it well, may get a set myself
