New Member Wicklow, Ireland
« on: September 08, 2020, 04:31:19 PM »
Hi All,

Been a viewer here on and off for the last couple of years, when i bought my tattered CB400f in 2015. I rode it for 1 short trip having serviced the clutch and the brakes...

I cataloged and photo'd the customary take apart ceremony and it has sat in boxes, numerous boxes since that time. Family and other commitments have taken priority but am now getting the pinch to start this rebuild.

I also have a R1200rt for 2 up riding with the missus....

Here is a pic of the 400 back then. image link below, hope it shows

Cheers Julie

In fact the whole bike looks to have been powder coated pink with a white fleck at some stage - very obvious when you start removing things....someone painted over in Black before i got it....

That will need taking care of in the future sometime....
