Am I the only one here who has no idea what a Super Four is?
Looks a bit like a Hornet.
Please tell.

Probably not, they were not for our market, a fair number have come through though, not a Hornet but part of the Project big one as seen on the side panels, baby brother of a bigger bike. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

Wheels are being done, most bolts are in poor fettle so are being replaced with stainless, new brake lines, don't want to throw loads of money at it as I just want to blat around on it.

Not going mad with this, decided to clean the super four up as the frame is very rusty at the rear wheel area, stripped it a fortnight ago degreased it took it for bead blasting and powder coat last week, collected frame yesterday and put the motor in this evening along with headstock races.

Copper coins are now made of steel coated in copper, test with magnet first.

I have a 350F as in the avatar (same size bike as a 400F) and am 6 foot. Last time I passed a shop window reflection I was reminded of a full grown adult riding a BMX bike so I don't use it anymore. Yes they are too small.
The BMX or the 350  I am around 5'5" and just around 11stone with short legs, i wish i had kept my 350f and sold my Zed thou, the 350 was a lovely little bike and did everything i asked of it even when i was almost 16 stone, the thou is a big old lump and i just don't do the miles, they are just toys now.

Credit to you Dave, that's a top job and expensive, my Zed is far from stock and i dread to think what it would cost to get it that way.

Just make the hole width as small as possible in relation to the post, good and deep though and postcrete is wonderful stuff sets in no time, my brother has been doing it for around 35 years.

Welcome Sam, nice choice to work on, your bike so the way it goes is your choice, i always hated the look of the 400's preferring the 350/4 which is my all time favourite bike though i don't have one anymore, good luck with the build and ask lots of questions when you need.

Don't leave the direct live permanently connected it will stuff the coils up.

Compression sounds OK for a cold motor, should test them when fully warmed up, maybe condensers, do a direct live to the coils to eliminate the rest of the electrics.

I’m glad you’re not to appalled by my untidy efforts Ash, however once I’d soldered the joints I was committed to using the sleeving that was on, even as it frayed.
The Kawasaki forum posts don’t get as many responses, if I only posted there I might not bother to put as much time in hosting photos etc. There is a moderator who pops by with a ‘good job, keep it up’ post now and again if no one else bothers, to keep the ball rolling.
Like this forum for my Honda rebuilds, what is really worthwhile is seeking advice and sourcing parts from members. On Sunday I realised I don’t have the outer worm part for the clutch actuator, and the only ones for sale were in the USA and very expensive. I posted a wanted request on the Z1 forum that night, Monday morning I found a response. Deal struck, Paypal money sent, the part was on my Kitchen worktop Tuesday morning. 
Sadly Dave the Zed forum has been struggling for a few years now with a lot of topics not getting responses, been following your build on both sites though, glad and surprised the actuator got there so quick, not much in the Zed parts bin left now.
