Just got my bike back together and i just wish to say a big thanks to Graham ( Trig) for the engine work & Julie for keeping me informed of the progress & the tea. Also to Menno for the paintwork , Just waiting for a bit of sunshine then im out on it!!
-
Wow, fantastic 👍. Keep it in the lounge in a glass case until the sun shines.
-
Na she is def for riding and riding fast ;D
-
Looks fantastic
-
That looks absolutely stunning Dave. Well done you. I told you you would have the best CB400/4 on the forum and you have 👍👍👍
-
Looks better than new! Well done.
-
Many thanks , i might keep my eyes open for a CB 500 or a 550 if i can find one cheap enough to do next ;D

That's a lovely bike Dave....well done mate. Been out spannering in my shed today (Triumph I'm afraid) but it's bleedin' freezing......my old bones are frizzed, but seeing your bike will inspire me to do a bit more work again tomorrow. Well done.......it's a credit to you......yer can't beat blingy chrome and shiny new paint !
-
Quality work. ;)
-
Not bad, i have seen a lot worse ;)
-
That looks fantastic - well done Dave

An absolute peach, somehow I just prefer them in blue and I might just turn my red one blue. Anybody spot the stand lifting handle, one on each side maybe and great for shifting the bike about in the garage.

That handle is interesting as i only have one fitted to the near side. I'm not sure if they are meant to have one or 2 on the 400/4. It wouldn't make any difference if i had 2, i would still struggle to get it on the center stand 😭😭😭
-
Only 1 from memory Julie, to help lift bike onto centre stand
-
Ive put one handle on each side for some reason ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nowt wrong with individuality Dave 😀😀😀😀
-
True Julie , i think by my reasoning if i had a handle both sides it wouldnt matter on which side i was to put it on stand , well thats the theory anyway ;D ;D ;D
-
You have to be on the left as that's where the stand has it's foot lever.
Ken, you are so sensible, where would we be without you 😊😊😊

If it's a CB550/4 make sure it an F not a K3.

Will do Julie, i gotta recoup some funds first but after seeing yours i really liked it.

Not sure if you mean my black mongrel or the blue CB550/4 F2. What i would say though is whether you go for a 500 or a 550, parts are a lot more difficult to come by than for the 400/4. Sourcing parts can drive you slowly round the bend Dave.
Edit...or was it the gold 500/4 you liked 😀😀😀
-
well i liked them all and the gold 500/4 was the nuts but i was talking about your Black mongrel , it just had a look about it if you know what i mean ;D
-
I know exactly what you mean Dave, it's got a bit of a rebellious look to it.....one like that is easy to build.
-
Well done Dave, that's a great looking bike. Whilst I hope the sun makes an appearance soon for you to get some miles on it, I also hope you avoid the salty roads with all that shiny polished chrome !
-
Well done Dave, that looks absolutely stunning. One day I’ll have to turn my hand to a 400/4.
-
Cheers James , I will certainly keep you in mind .
-
Great looking bike Dave one you should be happy to show off 8)
-
Top quality work there, well done. On the sourcing parts thing, don't forget each time someone finds a rare part that's one less. Eventually all the parts will dry up and all that's left then are the dreaded pattern parts. Then nobody will be doing quality work.
-
Nice job. We just need to wait for the road salt to go and the nie weather.
-
Wooo hooo! She looks like she's just out of the showroom! Are you going to show her?
-
No, to be honest although she looks good it was always my intention to ride her, plus all that polishing the shiny bits every minute would tire me out . ;D ;D ;D
