Love the color and the badges on the tank.  How is she running for you so far...  Nice Work!

Like a Dream.... ;D

It's just too much fun.

Rode it to the store for coffee last night and all I could think was "damn I wonder why more people don't ride smaller bikes"

I have two other 750's running and I believe for around town the 400 has them beat.

i've ridden a few 750s of friends and i always thought they were to big and bulky for my taste... just started tearing down my 400f engine (all the way)... i've been debating and finally decided, while it is still not stuck, there is probably stuff in there from sitting open air that i should get out.   :)  gonna break the case next, just gotta get a spare hour or two after work.

  Also wanted to comment about the seat, that looks better than a factory job.  Seems all the stock seats I see don't have the molded pattern yours does, or maybe I just haven't seen enough 400s.  The buttons on the stock ones I've seen seems to dimple or push in a lot more than on yours.  The material on your seat looks more taut.  Did you have someone cover it, buy it somewhere, or did you do it yourself?

Cheers for that, the non original seat looks just as good as the Honda one.

Ordered mine straight thru the Local Honda dealer...was like $225. I think they list for more than that tho...I get a discount of like 20% or something at my local dealer.
