Those are the 400Fs done up 750 style, no? Saw that post over on the twins site. Great looking bikes, and great job on them.

That's the thread on the twins site.
  Chicken gets the chicken dinner ! A friend e-mailed me those pics and at first glance I saw a line of nice Ko's and then found out that a guy at one time was converting CB400F's into that style,pipes and all. Hopefully that link has some more info cause I want to know more about it all.  Take Care Guys !

I've always thought the 400 F was the best looking of the SOHCs, especially the tank and exhaust....

For a long time, I wanted one with that sexy exhaust. Then after seeing one at a bike show, was disappointed in the small physical size of the 400F, was a total turn off. 
Already had the RD350 which is also small, didnt care to have another small bike.

Nicely done!
It makes me think of my Baby Rocks...
See SOHC4shop@gmail.com for info about the gadgets I make for these bikes.

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.
