CB400 Four special (Mr Sinx II )
Northy:
The seat and tail unit proved to right faff , its appears that my 2/4 seat doesn't sit square on the bike (yes messed around with the hing holes etc ) and on checking my other 400/4 same issue but not as bad. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
All pissed to one side arrrrggh
Any back to sowing again .....the 2:4 seat laid bare [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
Managed to sow the thing up OK so the fits first time but brought enough material to have a second attempt.

And finally my rear end :o :o :o

The decals are painted on and the sodding things "leached"?? when I added the lacquer on. There will be logo on the top of the tail unit when i get around to that

Last piccy shows how well the exhaust is tucked in . Its not pissed just the camera angle .....its all rubber mounted and moves all over the place though (DOH)
Northy:
So enough of my rear !! whats happening up front
Well having painted the cockpit fairing (old fibreglass and paint is right PITA ) decided to have a brand new mudguard and arriving soon . I finally settled on something that looks oK but not ideal.
The view inside

Yes the bars are bit red , the faring is set up so a set of ace bars can be fitted.
The outside view

No decals on the fairing as I couldn't decide how it should look so its just plain at present. On full lock loads of clearance between the fairing and tank
All the electrics work , some tiding up required though.

So just tank to finish , mudguard to fit (need make up fork brace) .......then need check every nut & bolt again.
I suspect I will used spare tank to give it run up the road this week (oh err that will interesting ) 8) ::)

Looking classy, not far to go now and just in time for some sunshine 8).
Rupert Paul did a feature in Classic Bike a few months ago detailing how to make a front mudguard mount, the type using round bar as used by all the specials builders. He made his for the Royal Enfield he's currently building, the finished part looked fantastic.
