Welcome, you just need a higher set of handlebars on that 400... ;)

CB350/400 / Re: New Tires are better than old tires!!
« on: August 17, 2023, 09:08:33 PM »
I just ordered a set of BT46's last night, to replace the Metzeler Perfects (11 and 77) I put on my 400 myself in 2008 :o There is still some profile on them, and no cracks, but I expect the handling will improve dramatically. The Bridgestone are totally new to me, but I've heard nothing but good reviews from other CB riders in our club. This weekend I'll do a goodby ride with the old tyres to attend a classic meeting some 200 km away, I'll try to take some nice pics there too :D

I've been using one like that for years now, never heard a rattle yet ;)
Less weight is always good!

Or restricted air flow, not by any chance put your gloves under the seat, or rain gear...

Was that meant to be 0.0 ?
Yep, on the continent we don't point but we comma!

I've been using the same tool for the last 40+ years, an adapted wheel spoke with two almost 90° bends and a flattened end, doesn't damage anything but scrapes dirt out of any corner without getting my hands in a knot ;)

I am with Bryan on this, any brush you use only polishes the crud, and as those discs, as you say, will remove alloy, the risk to remove more than just the filth is always there.
It is only one groove per caliper so how much time can you save by doing it mechanically in stead of by hand?

I've put a 12,7mm 1994 CBR600 master on my CBR1000F.....was 5/8 inch.

The CBR600 master is most likely a half inch or 12,7 mm, which is fine for a single 38mm piston caliper.
On all Honda masters the piston diameter is cast on the outside, most often facing the handlebars.

I've seen camshafts alone cost (a lot) more!

With that size front tyre handling won't be too good anyway :o
And the speedo will read too (s)low as well...
