CB400 Super Four Big 1 street tracker (ish) build

<< < (2/3) > >>

SumpMagnet:
That single top tube frame layout makes for some interesting possibilities.

If it was mine, I'd be making something like the old Kenny Roberts TZ flat tracker. Pop a flat tracker seat on the back, a dirt bike tank, and make some kind of seat to marry the two together. Then paint it in Repsol colours instead of the Yamaha yellow speed block. Don't know if you can get spoked wheels to fit.

Going to make an interesting project for sure whatever you do with it!

Pedrosanpb:
Done a bit of rust removal on the tank
Taken the petrol filler cap apart so I can paint it
Got the wiring harness set up on the bench and worked out where the resistors needed to go to get the LED indicators, stop/tail light and headlight working

Sesman:
Was wondering, is that an epoxy primer?

Pedrosanpb:
It’s etch primer from a rattle can

Sesman:
I know…UPOL. It’s good stuff, but is it the epoxy primer? I ask simply because I used the standard etch primer and after about  a week in my garage rust began to show through.

I’m advised that if you don’t intend to paint straight away, it’s best to use 2k epoxy primer. I think it’s the upol ‘raptor’ product. I’m a complete novice in terms of painting, but was just wondering if you can advise on what to use for best results. I’m going to have a try at 2K aerosol’s.
