My first CB400F build (Cafe style)
« on: March 31, 2015, 09:10:49 AM »
This is my first CB400F build. It was done on my daily runner which was got the engine rebuild (hefty price :S ), and the I got into the cafe racer style :)

It got a 17 inch megaphone exhaust with nothing but a spark arrestor inside, new rims and tyres, a ducati 1 cyl. race seat, a rebore to 412cc, aluminium rear-set from sweden and a lot more :)









Only problem was that it got too small for my 190cm's

nice build.

couldn't you move the rear sets back? Looks like they are in stock position...
might fit you better that way?

Nope, sadly they were made that way. I might have been able to find a decent smith who could make some brackets, but at the time I didnt care that much ;)
I just raced around enjoying the flames that went out of the exhaust... It really needed some ignition TLC :)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

+1 on that.  Kevin aka TTR400 makes excellent turn-key parts for the CB400f.
