Hi all - been lurking for a while and have finally taken the plunge. I have a few 70's throwbacks including a 400/4 up and running and a basket case CB550 K3 (I think) that I know I'm going to need help and advice with when it finally arrives. I'm also working on a 1977 Z1000a1 at the moment. I seem to rescue bikes rather than restore them but it keeps me out of trouble. The 400/4 I acquired as a finished article which was unusual.

Well that seemed to work although the 'fake path' message threw me. Here is a pic of the basket case as well.

Welcome to the forum from another 400four owner. That 400 looks is quite good nick, is it running OK?

Hi Mike thanks for the welcome - The 400/4 is up and running and ready to rock - I had a couple when I was 18 to 21 and it's taken me 35 years to get one back in my life.
-
Glad to hear that, hope you enjoy riding itas much as I do.

Hi, welcome to the forum from another 400/4 and K3 owner.
The 400/4 looks good and the K3 is far from a basket case and looks a good starting point.

Half an hour's spannering will have it ticking like a swiss
cheese watch

It's going to have to wait a little while before I get to beasting it with a spanner -
Firstly I got to pick it up - it's in Cambridge and I'm in Cornwall!
Secondly there is a small matter of a 1977 Kawasaki Z1000a1 that I'm 85% through rebuilding - trying to turn this [attachimg=1]
into something like this

Sorry if these are in bad taste, I will try and make up for it when I start on the 550 ;-)
