Misc / Open / 1970's packing cases
« on: January 26, 2017, 01:22:48 PM »
When my Dad and I have finished the 75 400f we're doing, we're giving it back to my uncle who bought the bike new, even unloaded it from the wagon and put it together himself and then rode it home.
I thought it might be a nice touch to try and recreate the packing case when we give it back to him, anyone have any pictures of what they would have looked like?

CB350/400 / Frame refinishing
« on: February 02, 2016, 05:16:41 PM »
I'm about to start my resto proper on the 400/4 I'm doing with my Dad.
Can anyone advise what the oe finish was on the frame? Ie paint/powder coat/stove enamel?
And, what would be best to replicate it? It's a budget but and bolt resto (if there is such a thing!) but I don't mind paying out for a great finish.
Any help or advice appreciated!

Hi folks, I'm Dave from Wirral, currently doing a very slow resto on my uncles 400/4 with my Dad (who's on here somewhere I think)
Got it all stripped and looking for somewhere decent to get the frame refinished
