Hi all
Hope you are all well
Just finishing off my tank and side panel refurb
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210524/09f5259b2d97fe28c95fe91b1915f26b.jpg)
Now got a question please
Got tank and side panel decals to do next once I am 100% happy with the paint job and wondered for the tank decals do you lacquer the tank decals locally or lacquer the whole tank
Also I guess the side panels are fully lacquered due to the small size
Any advice welcome and many thanks in advance
Best wishes Al

On mine I lacquered the whole tank and side panels in petrol resistant lacquer.

You need to lacquer the whole tank or it will stand out like a sore thumb ;)

I always 'Scotch' the whole tank lightly, then apply the decals and follow that with a good 2 pack petrol resistant UV stable lacquer. Best have a word with the local body shop who will be happy do it or just advise. If you don't key the surface, you run the real risk of peeling later.

Hi all thanks for the advise
Ok I think I will lightly scotch the side panels and do the decals and clear coat on these first then move onto tank
Again many thanks to all

Hi
Forks discs and calipers are off a cb400n super dream but with 50mm removed from the stanchions as standard cb400n are too long
Also hub is an original CB400F hub so I can run a standard spoked wheel but the discs are drilled and spaces added to fit the super dream discs
Lastly running a super dream speedo drive but fitted the CB400F hub with a custom speedo drive as with this change speedo drive is in. The opposite side

The brake lines look nice, who made those up?
Also the headlight bracket look good as well, someone on here looking for a decent set so some details on those would be good. They look well made.
Hi
Brake lines are Venhill
The headland bracket was from eBay
And the horn set up is pure RD350LC with a custom printed horn cover
Best wishes Al
