Another 400 back on the road
« on: May 02, 2019, 09:15:45 PM »
My mate Pete (peteberr) is only an occasional user of this forum but he's been rebuilding a 400f. He travelled all the way from Bristol to Inverness to collect a pile of parts which made nearly a whole bike, quite a few parts were missing or non-standard. He did all the painting, frame, tank and side panels and rebuilt the wheels. The seat is his own work too. I think he's very pleased with the final result!  8)

A very nice motorcycle. Great to see a box of bits transformed into a unique and well thought out machine, it's a credit to the builder 👍.
