Hell yeah, Gabe! Can't wait to see how it goes. Are you just going to get the whole thing back, completed, or can we see some of the progress along the way?
I don't know how it's going to work, but I'm going to try to get photos along the way.Hell yeah, Gabe! Can't wait to see how it goes. Are you just going to get the whole thing back, completed, or can we see some of the progress along the way?
You know I'm in on this one. Even if it's going to be a VISABuild.
Gabe, in your reference picture, what do you think they used for the tail? custom fab?
Looking forward to seeing the progress. Can you post up some of the costs for parts as you go. I have some crash damage to this one so I might try to upgrade while i am fixing it. Lighter pipes sound good to me - as does the free part.
Thanks to Gary Rather Photography for the photo.
Isn't it the same as the CB400F?Nice stuff going into the bike alright. I understand that the CB550 front end is the upgrade of choice - maybe Charlie has one. If you don't want it..... I might.

The 550 has a 35mm fork I believe. Not sure about the 400F, but I think it is 33mm like the 350.
Some people have claimed that the 33mm fork tubes on the CB 400F / CB 350F are a weak point of the bike, in reality it is the wimpy stock lower triple tree that is the cause of the flex.
Bolt on one of these and you will notice the difference right away!!!
Nice piece but pricey. If you are going with the 33mm forks and the stock triples you might want to try a fork brace if you are going to track the bike.
