See SOHC4shop.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

The demons are repulsed when a man does good. Use that.
Blood is thicker than water, but motor oil is thicker yet...so, don't mess with my SOHC4, or I might have to hurt you.

Aloha Mark,
             i will drop the mail tommorrow, check should be there sometime next year.    I wonder if you sourced the cb400f cylinders yet. I hope to have better luck with the cylinders this third time around. I hope you have a good Christmas and New Year. Will be in touch. Terry

Merry Christmas to all from the land of Oz! ;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?"

Yep, they are inbound! Should be here before New Year's.
