Years ago people used 400 Superdream forks, wheels and calipers, but they are not easy to find these days, and comstars are not so popular on older classics.

Welcome to the forum Wiinberg,
Looks like there's enough work to keep you busy over the winter. I did the Superdream front end conversion back in the 80s. It stopped OK but didn't look pretty. Back in the 80s it wasn't a classic then, just another ornery bike.
When I went to the Police compound full of stolen bikes, two years after it went missing, I recognised it straightaway by the odd wheels.

Welcome from me also. Looks like a great project. But I pity your poor back as you don't seem to have a single working surface!

That looks rather like a Mocheck Harrier, which was a conversion a British company did to 400/4's back in the 70's. Be interesting to know if it was one or just similar looking. Anyway, good luck with the work on it.

Thank you. That sounds interesting, do you now of any way to identify it, what i should look for? I don't have any history on it sadly.

I'm on the lookout for a small hydraulic stand, to get it off the ground in an acceptable height. That would be much appreciated i think.
With regards to the dual disc, i'm not sure what route i'll take. Maybe 550 front end or welding brackets to the right 400 leg if i can find someone to do a nice clean job.
