OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
Oddjob:
Ted you little tease. There I was thinking, oh look he's fitting a 4 into 2 system as I can see 2 end cans, he kept that quiet I think. Then I notice there's a mirror behind the end can making it look like 2, bugger.
Love the wheels Ted, black and gold, never fails.
Oh, spray the coils blue, you know you want too.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
After much fiddling about I managed to fit the front pipes so they do not touch and are reasonably well engaged into the 4 into 1 section of the silencer.
I think I will have to remove the silencer for a final fit as there ought to be some sealant where the front pipes go into the silencer.
I used the original rear bracket in the end to use both hangers - only bolts I had that would fit the dead eyes are the allen key headed ones - as & when I'll fit proper bolts.

Tidy looking build Ted! What colour tank and sides did you end up going for?

Tbh I'm still undecided I might leave the tank & panels and see what they look like in place before I make a final decision - at the moment I'm leaning towards the same colour as the frame - I have the RAL number so can go with that or a much darker cobalt blue / navy blue colour.
Thanks for the feedback folks - the photographs do flatter the build of course - my phone camera must be soft focus by default.
