Hi guys,
Just introducing myself and my awesome bike that I can take little to no credit for!
Im from Colchester and commisonned my bike from Sam Evans at Inlglorious Motorcycles in Birch. Its a thing of beauty (unless you prefer them stock) made from a £600 barn find. You'll find me over Great Bentley on a Wednesday or Krazy Horse events.
The bike itself is a '77 CB400F gone full Cafe Racer with new seat and looped frame, rebuilt engine, all new wiring from a Motogadet M-Unit into electronic ignition and LED lighting @ bates headlight, paint by Black Shuck Custom and new exhaust. Theres a ton of other mods but thats the jist of it. Its now sitting on Hagon rear shocks, Hyperpro replacement springs in the front and stainless spokes not shown on these pics.
Currently joining up here as intrested in a bit of feedback on potentially fitting a big bore kit and Yoshi exhaust. [attach=1][attach=2][attach=3]

Hi Tim
Welcome to the fold

Welcome Tim from another 400four owner. That looks a well sorted conversion.

Ive a Yoshi pipe on mine!
Get a stock of earplugs

Cheers guys for the welcomes.
Norniron - I already have to wear strong hearing defenders on mine as it is, I love the whine and wringing the nuts off a smaller CC bike. Love it love it love it. But now im thinking about squeezing a bit more out so my thoughts have turned to Big Bore kits and carb upgrades. The Yoshi exhaust would be the tip of the iceburg.
But all this stuff is super expenisive now. There used to be alternatives on Ebay but now it seems only the proper Yoshi stuff is around. Anyone have any tips? (and yeah I should/will post this elsewhere rather then the newbie feed).

Ride it, thrash it and enjoy it as is.
