New SOHC4 in our garage
« on: June 01, 2013, 05:42:58 PM »
 My girl has been having a heck of a time getting her FJ600 dialed in. She mentioned that she wanted something smaller, maybe a twin. A good friend had this '75 CB400 and made us an offer we couldn't refuse.
 I love it, and seeing her so happy today just made my day as well.

 Lots of upgrades, turn key, doesn't really need anything.

 It really is. There's one tiny little crease on the top of the tank, but it's all original paint. Carbs have been rebuilt and synched. New regulator/rectifier. Good tires, seat, lights, etc. Pretty much turn the key, hit the button and go.
 Non original exhaust, but this one looks and sounds great.

She'll enjoy it for years.  Great to see younger riders on these old machines.  Nice find.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

 I haven't ridden it yet. We bought it from a friend and he rode it up to the Mods vs Rockers show, so he had to ride it back home. She'll pick it up from him and bring it home this week.
