Another New Owner From Essex
« on: November 02, 2012, 06:00:38 PM »
Hello Chaps

All being well, I collect this 1977 CB400/4 on Sunday having seen it on Ebay for my latest project.  Advertised as having a Yosimura exhaust fitted in the 1970's, though I am sure someone here could verify if it is a Yoshi system.

Welcome to the site, bike looks nice, the front headers look mad enough to be yosh, there is a good video of yoshi bending pipes by hand on utube

Its a Yoshi. Pipes are like that so they are all the same length. Quiet around town, yowls after approx 6k rpm. Enjoy it.
