Honda-SOHC

Hi Julie

Thanks for that

Strange it’s just open to atmosphere but will sort as suggested

Many thanks again Al

Nice one

Motad wasn’t mine was it??

Sold on eBay early summer a complete system in almost  new condition as didn’t really think the Motad style / sound suited the CB400F look, but yes there was only one clamp on one of the headers and all four joints leaked like a sieve



Again the purists won’t like it but fitted a nice Dekelvic stainless system






It’s a nice system and uses a spring on each header to hold the headers in the single collector section

Sounds soooo much better with one of these home made tail bits fitted too









Makes me feel like a rebellious teen again and is nice match for the sound / noise my Higspeed GP pipes make on my rd




And cost for the Delkevic was really competitive too

Best wishes Al

Does anybody know please the correct way round the rubbers go as I guess the off set to to allow the carbs to line up correct with the rubbers

Any help most welcome

Hi all

New member here just saying hello

Been hanging around on the USA site until Nurse Julie pointed me in the right direction

Long story but not been on bikes for a long time until about three years ago when got serious ill where my darling wife caught me on the ward reading a classic bike mag and after a short chat decided that I could have a bike again

Started off my first bucket list bike and fully restored a RD350LC back from a total eBay wreck



Then late last year she asked what was next and said I wanted a CB400F as a stable mate as this was my second bucket list bike

Again bought a reasonable bike that looked a bit shabby and spent the last six month tweaking





She is not original but I have added some changes such as a twin disc front end



Non standard exhaust



Rebuilt the wheel myself with alloy rims and stainless spokes




Rebuilt the clocks



And updated the front headlight with a halogen headlight and the Yamaha rd twin horn theme which I have alway likes the look off




Got a way to go yet but good enough to run for the summer (once I have cleaned and rebuilt the carbs due to it not ticking over smoothly)  and then once autumn is here plan then will be to finish it off with a full paint job tank and side panels and engine out for a complete strip and rebuild

Lastly just so I don’t get bored also building a hybrid that hopefully will be totally radical






Think that is all for now but again hi to all

Best wishes always Al
