New camshaft arrived last friday.
Seriously fast delivery by Dynoman! Thanks Buzz!

My FZR1000 Streetfighter is currently in pieces but soon it´s out of the shed and off to the powdercoater.

As soon as it´s out the door the CB will loose it head......

Have any of you swapped the cam in your 400/4, and if so what type and from where????? Also what else did you upgrade, springs?? And have any of you done your own porting and polishing on your head?????? I have standard bore on the pistons, and the pipe will be decided once the build is finished. Any recommendations greatly appreciated.

Still on points.... rebuilt of course, but an electronic ignition is on my wishing list. Don´t have the money for it now, though....

Or get onto Hondaman and order one of his transistorised ignitions! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I thought we mere mortals couldn't have one of them until Mark was satisfied that even an idiot could fit & use them ???

Hey you still do Sammy, but to sneak 'em into Oz you tell our customs folk that they're your cricket team? :)

I don't think I'll need one of Mark's brilliant ignitions, as I'm just a miserable Pommy bastard born without a sense of humour, and because I spend all my spare time retaliating to good natured teasing from my mate Terry, I don't have much time left for riding, even if it did stop raining in England long enough for me to actually go for a ride? 

Fair enough mate! :)
