Hello Everybody.
« on: January 03, 2014, 02:01:53 PM »
Hi,
Thought I'd just introduce myself to you all.  Got myself a 400f ('76) courtesy of fleabay. None runner,needing a lot of TLC. Got bike approx. 3 months ago,since then I have stripped bike,got frame,swinging arm,etc, powdercoated. Got parts back about 6 weeks ago,and started rebuild.
This is my 3rd rebuild. Previous 2 have been CX500's,one standard model,the other a Eurosport.
Joined this forum,cos no doubt I will need help/advice somewhere along the line.

I guess it goes without saying that you have excellent biking roads up there?

Hi Kenny, I too am new to this forum malarkey, but already got some friendly replies from people who don't sound bonkers... at least less bonkers than me for starting out on this CB400 restoration lark! Good luck and enjoy.

Hi Kenny.

We have a very sexy in-line image feature on this forum. When you attach an image, select "Inline full-size image" from the pull down menu:

Sorry, but I can't make it the default...
