My cb400 was definitely a two man lift and was awkward putting back into the frame, was it hard to find replacement parts for this model ?
Good luck with your next project it sounds interesting, can you post some pictures of the RC 30 before you pull it apart?
Regards Ken

Thanks for the comments all. I won't be doing another of these bikes unless its all there to begin with!
I don't have insurance on it Tim so I've only ridden it down the alley at the back of the house, its slow as Bryan suggested! I dont think the owner will wrap it around a tree as he'll have trouble riding over the roots given its power, I think it is 8bhp! It needs a vin plate to finish it, I did email the guy who Julie suggested but no reply but then I'm not on FB (Faceache). I'll leave that for the owner to do (and to get a MOT, I know it doesn't need one but I would get one just to make sure what I have done is up to standard).
I'll start a thread for the NC30 once the TL leaves the garage and I have some room.

Wow ! that looks truly stunning Dave ... Wish we all had mates like you.
Glad to have helped a little via my 'Man-in-Japan' ChrisJ . It's astonishing what comes up on Yahoo.co.jp Auctions (No eBay in Japan!).
I was convinced your next resto would be another CB250RSA ;D ;D and what's all this buying Julie's SS collets for your next 400F resto?

Thank you Ash, this bike wouldn't have been completed had it not been for the fantastic people on this forum (I forgot to thank Roo for getting the toolbox in the US and bringing it back in his luggage, thank you Roo
I'm going to get the collets as a spare because the BZP ones always go rusty and look a bit pants (that's a technical word for terrible)🙁.
The NC30 is the next one up on the bench but I've promised myself a major change after spending just under 500 hours on the TL.....No restoration during nice weather, I want to be out riding a bike, not spinning spanners!
I'd love another RSA after the NC, the kickstart model, not electric but it's trying to find one😉.
Don't laugh but I quite fancy a MZ Supa 5, I've always liked those with their ring-a-ding ding soundtrack and I've never owned a stinkwheel.
