That does look good Rob....with those bars it looks more flat tracker to me...nothing wrong with that, in fact very nice.

The bars are on borrowed time ::)  I have alloy clip-ons waiting to be fitted.  The top yoke is also being machined to remove the handlebar fixing lugs 8)

Seat collected this afternoon.  Sorry for the poor colour quality, my camara can't cope with difficult lighting conditions.

Inspiration taken from the 1960's Team Lotus F1 livery seen here with the late, great Jim Clark in action at Brands Hatch.


Paint used is correct for period - I unearthed the Lotus paint codes 8)

Tank badges are new OE Honda parts sourced from the US of A.




I am still waiting for the seat unit due to minor blemishes seen in the new paint.

CB350/400 / 1977 CB400/4 Supersport Stock Exhaust Weight??
« on: December 22, 2012, 06:23:46 AM »
Has anyone weighed their stock CB400F1 exhaust.  I would be interested in the comparison with my after market exhaust weighing in at 3.4Kg.

Regarding weight loss the stock disc weighs 2.18 kg, the modified disc 1.800 kg, weight saving 0.380 kg  8)

This takes the total weight saving on my Cafe project to just over 16Kg so far :)

I have decided to opt for adjustable clubmans bars.  The Tommaselli type as originally fitted on the Laverda Jota.

Update:  The Tommaselli bars looked awful and fouled the tank on full lock ::) and have been returned.  I am going for clip-ons instead.
