CB400 Super4 Cafe Racer Project

[ahch0ng]

looks pretty awesome

[singkiwi]

@greyolm, I'm sure there are plenty of people that could do it, eBay just seemed easier? I made a cardboard template, go the look I wanted and then found one similar. It would be superb if someone made one in SG and then actually had it approved my the LTA.

wow.. Awesome stuff @singkiwi !

 

Gonna start a cafe racer project of my own. was afraid of treading into uncharted waters. inspired by your work! did you have to do a tail chop?

 

Was contemplating that but afraid it might be an issue at inspection.

No Chop, kept the frame intact, that way the seat can be swapped for inspection etc.

Hey, nope.... not enough time to ride, put the stock exhaust back on, the other was too loud and attracted too much attention! :-)

very nice! here's my cb400 road tracker project, should've bought a non-vtec cb400, would have been much easier.
