I like the idea of silver striping separating panels. Looking good.

Thanks leaning towards white to break it up. So plan is do the stock cb400 super sport logos on the tank (in gold with white outline) and then do some stripes down the sides of the tank and seat similar to kawi h2's in gold and white. Number plate on top of the seat section and some goldand white down the center of the tank

Question is do I do cb400 on the tank or cb466?

CB400F on the sidecovers and make it a 'sleeper'

Which ever you decide to go with, I can cut some vinyl for ya and send you a mask to make the job easier.

Subscribed. Great work so far! I have a snotty old 400 in the shed that I'm starting to get ideas for.

Thanks for the input everyone! Just running tank and seat with no side panels.

Hey Shawn,
I didn't know if you got this or not. Sometimes my mail ends up in spammers because it is a gmail account. Here it is.

Hey sorry for the delay. I did get it, was trying to get the size of the tank decals quick to give you that. Should have that tomorrow. Thanks!

Was excited to lace my wheels and seem to have hit a snag. The spokes and nipples are from bucannon's for these hoops and my bike. The inners seem long and outers border on too short. One I can't even get started. Not sure if I missed something from a lack of sleep or what. Inners used the short heads and longer heads on the outers.

I would un-lace them all on that front and use the 'inners' in place of the 'outers' & vice versa.Do the inners have very different L-shaped bent heads on them than the outers? show some pics of the two different ones.

Thanks for that. Here's the spoke heads. I used shorter for inners

That sure looks like you used the correct ones for inners..
I would still un-lace and re-lace it.. imo.

hard to see where it's having the problem.Do the length measurements on the outers match what the spec calls for ? I hope Buchanans didn't make a mistake.

Replied to your PM. Picture looks as though you are 1 hole off on the new rim. Notice the spoke nearly crossing the inside spoke at the edge of the hub? Too tight an angle usually means you started in the wrong hole at the rim.

I could be wrong because I'm only basing that off the pictures.

Thanks guys! I think calj737 identified the problem. Gonna try again tonight

I had a similar situation and I was one hole off on one side of the hub when I laced my rear wheel.

So on a positive note, my swingarm is ready to ship! Framecrafters has been phenomenal to work with

That is correct sir, not sure what grade he used. I'll ask him when i speak to him soon.

MRieck · « **Reply #124 on:** February 09, 2017, 11:49:00 AM »

I know McIntosh uses 6061 T6 for a lot of their swingarms. Pretty standard material. I think that swingarm is a lot more stout than the frame you are attaching it to.
