Hi from Dungeness. Kent.
« on: August 26, 2014, 07:26:01 PM »
Just gone back to a 1978 400/4 from a CBR 600. Have been riding bikes 35+ years and still can't get it out of my system
.(Never grown up !!). Wanted something a bit slower these days. I've been told this is the Forum to be in and I'm sure I will need your help and advice in the future. :-*

Welcome from me too you will find all need on this friendly site ! I can't believe how popular the 400/4 has become. They are lovely little bikes and at last people are reproducing decent parts recently. When I restored mine way back in 1986, my bike was only 11 years old then but getting decent frame parts was a nightmare with no internet ect. The paintwork is F2 but the bike is a '75 pillion rests -on-the-swinging- arm type. You had artistic licence way back  then  ;D. Now have blue tank for it to satisfy the purists (thanks to Ian member 'Boggieman'). What's wrong with photos Trig?
