A few years ago I bought a 400/4 in bits and have carried out a slow rebuild/restomod as and when time and
money allowed. A lot of the standard parts I got in the collection of boxes were rusted beyond saving. I decided to build a cafe racer, but without cutting the frame or any other mods which would prevent the bike being put back to standard.
I've had lots of help from this forum and I'm sure that I couldn't have finished the rebuild without that help. Thanks guys!

Looking smart. 8)
Mine may be going in the same direction as I Fancy something a little different but not to keen on choping the frame.

It was a pretty ropey Guiliari seat with a rusty base and torn cover.
I shortened it a little at the back and reshaped it then got a local coach trimmer to recover it with a foam hump. I think it looks a bit too big overall but it might grow on me.

That looks great, one to be proud of
Cheers

Lovely job, well done 👍. Another one back on the road.

The bike looks great. I still think (after 40 plus years on) that sweeping four pipe exhaust is a thing of great beauty.....I notice that one of the bikes in Honda's present line up emulates it......so Honda obviously think the same.
Well done.....it's a real a credit to you.

Thanks for all the nice comments everybody. I'm pleased with how it has turned out.
The speedo seems to be over reading, I'm thinking now that it may be off a different model. 🤔

All speedos over read, as long as its inside 10% its legal

This is more than normal. In traffic at an estimated 40 - 45 mph it was reading 70!

That is a bit excessive mate, possibly faulty rather than wrong model though

That's a really nice looking bike. Well done. Should top out around 160mph when flat out, impressive. ;)

Lol! I'd want better brakes if it did that! 😁

Keep it for the bragging rights - "Hit the ton on my way home from the shops... again..."
Seriously, it looks fabulous! Another example to add to my "maybe someday" collection...
