Rick Oliver's 400/4

Laverda Dave:
Whilst I was ordering parts for the NC30 the other day from the guru of NC30’s, Rick Oliver he mentioned about his old 400/4 and how he made it into a 460cc Cafe Racer. He sent some photos over and gave me permission to post them on here.
His bike went through a number of iterations over the years and in its final form it was fitted with reverse comstars, a Mead Speed fuel tank, CB250RS front mudguard, a Yoshi 460 kit and exhaust and a home made seat. I'm not sure about the rear sets but a very nice bike. He doesn't have it now which is a shame.

Bryanj:
That name rings a bell for something

K2-K6:
Interesting bike, I like the 1st iteration best.

Always like the star shaped cast wheels, looks like Pirelli Phantom front tyre, with possibly rear Avon Road runner.

Dresda swingarm and S&W shocks too, missing from later images, with longer std type swingarm and top shock mounts moved.

I think the 400 bored to near 500 must make for a cracking little engine, significant in its small size, but near 500 for torque. Suppose that ideally they'd need much bigger valves and ports to realy get them going wild.
