Finally wrapping up some customer bikes and got to the home stretch for wiring. From the coil ground forward is done. Also get setup with speedcell as a dealer and had to redo my electronics tray to account for the little bit of size difference. Also got my stator back from being rewound and rebuild my starter.

in that second pic down, with the almost straight view right down the backbone, really hoping it's a trick angle and that backbone isn't as bent as it looks. Possibly the only reason I notice is because I have a wrecked 550 frame with the same backbone and the same very visible bend

A $20,000 CB400, I hope this is a labor of love.

$20000!? Oh man I hope not. This has been a labor of love. Just wait till I start my h2 build that is happening after this. that one is going to make this one seem pretty boring I think.

Whatever the tally comes to, hide the receipts from the better half!

Haha I got that skill down awhile back. That meme that says "my biggest fear if I die is that my wife sells my motorcycle for what I told it cost" is pretty accurate

Whatever the cost, it's awesome. I know what I spent on my 450, so I can tell this build hasn't been cheap. Oh, well, it's only money. My employer gives me more every 2 weeks. .

Haha payday is the best day! More parts and/or bikes!

Thankfully it's just the angle of the pic. This baby is straight as an arrow. Sorry to hear that on your 550, there are some places that straighten frames if you need any names, let me know.

[/quote]thanks and good to hear. that 550 frame is so bent that you had to turn handle bars full lock to push it in a straight line and has already become a tubing donor. I bought a titled parts bike and swapped everything good over to another frame. The parts bike cost $200, so I doubt it would have been worthwhile to straighten the original. It was a friend of mine who got t-boned hard. He escaped with only a broken arm.

Alright harness is done to the battery tray and stator wires to R/R are done. Next I'll mount the components and start making those connections to all the components in the tray. So close to the end!

Almost have all of the wires connected to the fuse block. All that left is starter solenoid, headlight relay and my 3 large gauge wires.

This baby is just about ready to breathe fire.

And she lives!!! The float appears to be sticking on carb 2 and I need to dial in the timing but fired right up!

If only I could upload the video!

Fixed the stuck float and got the dyna ignition dialed in. She's a runner and it finally moved under power for the first time since about 1988! Got some little stuff left and will dial it in but I'm soo pumped!

Got my temporary number plate done. I'm going to run a carbon front fender from Tanner magic, and then will do a carbon number plate and make a rear hugger too

come on man...the rest of the bike is so good...but you have to do something about an inner rear fender and some real air filters

calj737 · « **Reply #548 on:** July 30, 2017, 03:56:49 AM »

You might want to give your exhaust a quick but thorough wipe down with Acetone too before you for a lengthy ride. It will clean the grease and oils off before they burn in as tarnished marks on the stainless.

Those are K&n filters on the bike.

Yep fenders are coming along. Tanner matic is doing a carbon front and I'm going to swap the number plate and build a inner rear out of carbon. Probably be a month before that's all done
