You've just got to love the look of the CB400. Doesn't seem to matter what colour it is painted it just looks so right.

Yep, it's a 77 Hondamatic tank (NOS). The weird thing was when I was deciding what color to paint my original tank, my wife suggested an apple green, and I immediately liked the idea. Then, a few days later, this one came up on eBay, so I bought it. Before that, I didn't know the color existed. Now, my wife takes all the credit for my hard work on this bike!

Hey KC, Get a pad made for that seat yet ? :-\ :)

Yeah I fabbed one using 1/2" foam and covered it with leather. Its not permenant....dont have the funds to worry with a seat cover at the moment..... saving for a new chain and sprocket set. Its fine for now though. Heck.......look at the MotoGP guys. All they have is grip tape on their seats.  ;D

That used to be a stock seat. I shaved the foam to get the shape I wanted and had the seat recovered.

Your stock 350F is very nice. Love those pipes. Did you change the rear shocks to improve handling?

hey keith, Thanks for the compliment! You can't go wrong with stock pipes.  I was lucky enough to get mine with REALLY good condition 4-4 OEM pipes, one NOS!  sweet!
Your pipes look in great shape, as well. nice red.  I am partial to the green. the black is sweet too.  I f i were rich , i would have one in all the flavors.
as for the shocks,
no, i bought it with those shocks on there.  I think they are lowered a bit.  I have original
(crappy) shocks i will put on as soon as i put the bike away for the winter.
hopefully the handling will stay the same or else improve. ::)
