Honda 400F (Little Red Rocket)
« on: July 01, 2013, 10:09:59 PM »
got this project bike that i picked up for near nothing. I restore old snowmobiles for a hobby and though i would try a bike.
I would like to give this little red rocket some more hp!! not a full mod race motor, but a motor when i want the power its there and reliable. What are you guys doing? The only thing i have done is, I did but buy a mac header and a two brother carbon fiber shorty slip on. Here is a picture the way i got it. I plan on going through the whole bike.

That bike already looks the part! The black rims really sets off the overall look nicely. Why not consider going for a big bore kit?

More than a good start. I would just give it some fresh paint and tend to the rear section tubes that stick out. Already looks fast just sitting there
