Yeah I suspect they will be a poor fit.. see a lot of nice bikes let down by cheap Ebay seats. I took my base to an upholsterer and they did a full leather seat in my design for £120 which didnt seem to bad.

The indicators were from Demon Tweaks IIRC.. they were a great find and are good quality metal finish... whist I love classic bikes I'm really not keen on the huge Honda indicators.. but many aftermarket ones looked cheap, these look OEM!

Fantastic.. I hope to have running and rolling this weekend. The baffle is in but I'm sure I will accidentally loose it!

Thanks Clem, yes I cut a small section away but its so tucked away that makes testing a real pain but I do need to check the stator coil.  The reg/rec was a cheap ebay special and I fear that may be the issue. I plan to test the orginal one at the weekend and see what happens. It charges but only when revved a little and peaks about 12.9v so might be down one of the coils.. in truth on my XS750 it did this and was also the coil and now makes a health 14.5

The Daytona Gauge has a voltmeter so its quite handy!

I'll get some video at the weekend, I loved the old Yoshi ones and why I went for this as the old Motad one was awful.

A ha hey mate!

P.s - The wiring loom looks like tosh because in that photo I was still testing it and replacing crap connectors with gold ones!

Front mudguard... hard to make lower without chopping the complicated stay but I plan to address this later. I've also done away with the speedo as running a GPS on a Daytona gauge.

I usually post in the CB400 section but thought I'd post a few pics of my CB400F project as hadnt realaised this section was here and some great projects going on.

This is my second build.. my first being an XS750..



I then acquired a CB400f, a bike I've loved for many years. The tank was the wrong colour and a lot of bodges by the OP so it came apart.. originally I'd planned a restoration but having gone to a number of shows with the XS750 and the CB400f I decided to make it my own and do a restomod type project.

Here she is in her original form, bought it for £1500 from a local guy... she looks lovely but on closer inspection needed attention!



Then the strip down began about 12 months ago.. a few images..its been slow progress with other hobbies and my son racing.



















Back from Delkevic with the new exhaust! Tank in primer, will be the last thing I do I think!



Back in the workshop and final prep and engine running!







I have no idea of plans for the rear mudguard and light but I pick the seat up on Thursday which is based on the original base but I shortened it a little and so I hope it turns out ok. Once the seat is on I cna get her outside and think about it with a cuppa or two!

Tank - the plan is Audi RS4 grey, with a gloss black centre stripe and two cream pinstripes.. I have deliberated over colour since the start!

Lots of small jobs to do.. and its been a tough build so far engine ran really well and so apart from valves check, new cam chain, carb total restoration and a full service I've left it alone as she ran lovely!

Bit more work over the weekend, and fitted the rear indicators. I think they look great on the bike.. with no buyers of the original mounts on ebay I chopped them and used them on the project... sorry!

Solved the gear shift issue, fitted the new chain so I could have a rolling/ running bike by the weekend!

My seat comes back with will be a modern interpretation using the same base (but shortened) I hope it comes back as designed!

Once the seat is on I can think about the rear mudguard .. because at the moment I'm not sure where I'm going with it, only it needs to be a shorter version. I started to cut up my orignial but its super heavy and full of rust so will see. The rear guard needs to be effective, hold a light and number plate but look modern, slightly aggressive!

As said my build is more restomod than restoration..





Next issues to sort...

Regulator / rectifier not working correctly
Sort the rear brake switch.

CB350/400 / Re: Gear selector return ?
« on: January 22, 2018, 09:19:43 AM »

Solved the problem, phew!

Strangely my kickstart wasn't returning properly as well so took the clutch cover off and spring.. !!! something clicked back into place and i have a working gear selector and kickstart. The new seal I put in was too tight and the kick start spline and caused the gear selector to stick.

Thanks.. I do hope this is the case . mechanically she shifted perfectly before the engine was out which has been subjected to lots of work and being painted so fully drained of oil and so she hasnt turned a gear yet. I just need to secure the chain and then I can run up on a stand and get some oil moving!

Thanks Julie I'm hoping this is the case as mechanically I cannot see whats changed...  frustrating as starting to look quite good! I plan to run her up tomorrow and will pop in gear and get everything moving.
