Jesus it's been a long time since I've been on here, just got a reply notification to my email haha. He most certainly is on the glass bbq. Also my long term 400 project has hit a huge standstill, so here's my own crackhead for sale post trying to cash in on the Bondi cafe racer market haha...

It works great! As i said you just need to weld a tab to the frame for the new cylinder and make sure it lines up with your stock brake rod

Haha i got an aluminium street sign and cut out a shape with an angle grinder. Its not perfect but it works. Drilling aluminium is easy you can use any drill bit really

I dont have a pic right now, but I got a small piece of aluminium sheet, roughly traced out an outline for mounting points of my guages (im just a mini running a speedo), then drilled hole so they would line up with the holes under the top tree and bolted it up. then i got a generic emgo 2 way...

Im having a pretty similar experience with my VM30's. My builds going pretty slow atm, but i am getting flames out the exhaust if i jump on the throttlel, mind you i still need to rtv silicone around my boots and get some stronger clamps for the carbs as they are definitely leaking at the boots...

Theres a build thread on here where a guy shoe horned a 650 engine into the 400 frame, but im pretty sure it was alot of work. I think alot of people have thought about engine rebuilds on here but it seems too costly to find pistons/rings or anything oversize. Theres always been talk of using...

Good to hear you got it charging! Ive been stressing about mine not charging, but i think i need to recheck the wiring for my reg/rec too.

Ive got vm30s on at the moment, havent taken it for a proper ride as its still In pieces getting the charging system sorted. But it starts first kick and revs out well on my starting tune. Search vm30 and youll probably come across the thread with my specs in it, cant remember them off the top...

7 amp hour is more than enough, with a kick only you can go pretty small, I've got a small 2.5amp hour and it starts first kick, i think some guys even go down to a 1.2 amp hour. ive got all battery and electrics tucked up under the seat in a small tray so the frame is completely clear. so...

My mate got his cb450 stripped and primed for 120 here in newy. That included his fenders

Measured up my tail loop to be bent up by a mate. Have also made a deal on a 1970 Honda SL350k0, going halves with a mate, hoping to do a mild resto on it just to get it running, hasnt been on the road since 1978 and comes with a tonne of spares as well as a titled cb250n in parts. So keen to...

Heres another nice one, https://store.bevelheaven.com/brake-related-parts/13mm-rec-brembo-master-cylinder-front-brake/ also theres tonnes of chinese 1/2 inch or 13mm cheapies on ebay last time i checked that people seem to have decent experiences with

Got this one for mine https://www.mikesxs.net/product/08-0253.html And heres some good info I found when swapping masters, http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56704 Larger master cylinder actually decreases power of the brakes and decreases lever travel. can make it feel...

Haha sort about that, they were off my phone, I'll sort them out and get some better pics up soon

It might ground through the body?

Went through the front end the other day, cut 3cm off the front for springs and added a 3.5cm spacer to the damping rod. Also changed fork seals and fluid. Used 15w and filled the forks 6 inches from the top. Replaced the loose bearings in the headstem with tapered rollers from pyramid parts...

Yeah man well its up to you its always good to see people doing something different, most of the time it comes down to $$$. Mikuni tm's might also be a cheap option

Changed the head stem bearings to tapered roller bearings from pyramid parts. Also rebuilt my forks with new seals, cut an inch off the springs, made some 1 1/4 inch spacers for the damping rods and filled with 15w fork fluid 6 inches from the top. The seals were completely blown out before but...

When it comes down to it, any appropriately sized carbs will work just depends how much stuffing around you want to do tuning it obviously. I chose the mikunis because theyre pretty common cheap and plenty of cb guys use them. Flatslides would be cool though

I did a fair bit of searching around for aftermarket carb info for our bikes and there is not much out there. If your stock ones are useable I would keep them. Mine were stuffed and I didnt want to chance a second hand set from overseas. Ended up getting a pair of Vm30 roundslides. Im led to...
