I imagine it'll take a bit of research to get specs and capacities on this very good air/oil system Tone.  To fine tune it.
They may have had it sorted at some point in the past;sitting takes it's 'toll' on a bike.
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

As long as the neoprene diaphragm isn't damage I should be alright. What I thought was a spare diaphragm was actually an aftermarket horn, so at least that part is figured out, also found a better condition oil pressure gauge but it only goes up to 80.

The cb500 has a head gasket leak, ordered new gaskets and o rings for the carbs too, been putting the R80 back together to see what needs repairing, thats racking up in total cost very quickly just cause of a couple things I damaged.

Tomorrow morning im heading to Gilmores to check out the swap meet, Im taking a NOS candy garnet brown k1 tank, a black F tank, and maybe the spare frame kit that I have to leave at Phils table to see if they sell.

Hey!  I will see you there tomorrow, decided to just bring my bike and myself and enjoy the event.  Excited to see what Phil brings and wish I had more dosh for that candy garnet brown tank...I have a really clean pair of original candy garnet brown fork ears that need to find a home.
If it works good, it looks good...

I measured out where the rear MC sits and measured some stock pipes, stock pipes wouldn't fit with the rear MC staying where it is. The end goal was to end up with 4-4 pipes on here but if its going to force me into making mods then forget it. Finding some reverse cone ends for the mufflers is still a goal of mine, Im considering a new pipe altogether, I guess Ill have my eye out.

Also opened up the shocks and it looks like there may only be one O ring thats needs replacing, the diagram is nice and thick and still in good shape....ill try to make these shocks work.

The exhaust that's on their Is Classic  ;) and I hope you can find some baffles.
Cool that the rear shock control regulator? is serviceable;have you seen any directions/adjustment suggestions online ?

If I can find a shop who will chrome it ill keep it for good since its a hooker....thinking about replacing the exhaust on my black 750 so it could potentially come over to this bike.

I just read a thread on here where a member got a good deal from a shop who chromed his used CB400F headpipes.
The member's 'ozzybud' in the thread "chrome shop in Santee,Ca."
