1975 CB 400 Four - Restoration
kiki.o:
Hi to all,
I am in the middle of the restoration process, so I have decided to join the forum in the search of some answers.
Here's the process so far... I bought the bike in 2016 as a cafe racer build, but somewhere down the stripdown process I decided to restore it. Not that have gave up on the cafe racer idea. :)
Here are a few pictures, hope you like them:
The day I bought it:

The painting process:
First of several gloss finish
Final polish:
New rear shocks:
Front shocks restored with all available new parts:
New labels :
Some parts refurbished
Footpegs restored:
Expanded the carriers for new coils (DynaCoil 5ohm)
Refurbished the airbox bleeder housing(don't know the exact name, sorry :))
Wheels laced
Wheels finished:
On wheels now:
Instruments and headlight rebuild:
Headlight rebuild:
New front brake
New rear brake
New blinkers:
New controls:
Engine rebuilt. Not done by me obviously, not on that level of expertise for now :)
painted cylinder studs
And that's about it for now...
This is what it looks like for now:
Now onto the electric mess, trying to wire up everything and I do have a couple of questions but, at the moment, the wiring diagram answers the majority of them ;D
Sorry for the long post :)
Best regards,
Kristijan

Hi kiki.o
Welcome and a lot of good work done there.
In the picture of the breather chamber you have the drain pipe connected to the inlet. The drain should be on the bottom stub and the rocker breather pipe on the side stub.

Welcome to the forum, great build showing a lot of skill. Paintwork is top notch and I can see you are absolutely meticulous about everything else will make a stunning bike when finished.
