Experimental stage... but wouldn't the Honda CX500 fueltank make quite a difference ? I tested a XS400SE-tank too, in combination with a Norton-like rear end. Maybe the Honda fueltank and the Norton-like back would be the best solution ? I'll think about it...

Re-built 12E/16M, 27 bhp, 2-in-1 Exhaust, IgniTech TCI, 2-Disc-Brake front.

Eldest Grandson's second bike after he had a chinese Pocket Bike: a Gilera DNA 50, really nice, but way too complicate.... This one stood still in the garage many more days than it ran on the streets ;-)

By the way, THIS was my 2. bike in my personal biker history: a Honda CB 250 T with 27 bhp.

I found a CX500 Café Racer on the web. It was red and had a rear end like a Norton Commando/Commander and I liked the idea to somehow copy it. Only, the parts I had in stock were mostly blue, and I gave my own bike a rear end of a XJ750. Plus e-waterpump and e-cooling...

... in the end, I replaced the single headlamp through a MATISSE fairing with 2 smaller headlamps. Might look better without the acrylic protectio shield... Or should I change it back to the single headlamp ? Maybe I should ;-)

Upppssss.... not even a hell of a lot of response :-o Please, before I open up a brandnew thread on this, let me try to go on with THIS thread. Might be helpful not only for me ;-) I just tried to get a helping hand from members of a German XS400 forum, now waiting for some replies. My...

Hi from Germany! Late, but maybe not too late.. I hadn't been here for quite awhile, that's why I'm not really up to date, but when I searched for some info about ignitors I found this thread. I was searching for alternatives to my CDI systems for my Honda CX500Cs. Honda came up with that CDI...

Found this thread by accident; late, but perhaps not too late, here I go: The IgniTech parts are quite good. Got TCIs for the XS400DOCH and CDIs for my Honda CX500Cs from them. My TCI for 2-Cylinder bikes is pre-programmed and may be used for both the 27HP and 45HP DOHC models. When I replaced...

Having a 340 bhp 2000cc supercharged Cosworthengine powerd street superbike in your hotel suite... that's SOME thing very special ;-) The ultimative bike, realized by Friedel Muench and Thomas Petsch, both passed away meanwhile.

My first SE, a few days after I changed the colour from blue to black and, only a few days before my heavy accident with it.

My first XS 400. The seller was a son of a father who had an accident with this bike only a few days before. The bike was quickly sold while the father still was bound to a hospital bed... Some people believe in things such as bad luck that sticks to whatever. In this case, bad luck stuck to...

Somehow a kind of a masterpiece. The engine was not yet finished when the pic was taken; I sharpened the contrasts later, adding some black and chrome to it ;-) This 4G5 was reb uilt after a heavy accident in 2010. I then took the opportunity to give this little machine a slightly 'british'...

This 4G5 was fitted with exhausters of an Intruder. Already sold...

The DOHC is a really fine bike. Almost totally different to the predecessors. I had a 12E and a 16M with 45 bhp and now still own a 27 bhp 12E and half a 16M, but this one lacks the original exhaust system, tank and engine... I never really liked the shape of this bike, different to its...

A fine, solid 500cc machine with 60 bhp. Unfortunately already sold...

I loved this Honda. My kids thought that this 60 bhp machine was too fast for me and sold it to a stranger... So I bought me a XS400 DOHC with only 45 bhp. I use to never drive a bike faster than roundabout 180 Km/h, means, I never tried to reach the Honda's maximum speed anyway. The XS 400 DOHC...

This one was owned by my youngest daughter's husband. It was followed by another R1, a black one. Both are now already sold.

My daughter is willing to sell this bike. Location: 27404 Zeven, Germany Left to the Kawa stands my actual Honda CX 500 C with add ons such as a Pichler Uni 4M fairing and Krauser bags and topcase and Harley Davidson catalyst-exhausters. I prefer the CX model over the GL, but I tried to make...

Already sold :-(
