hey guys, i don't mean to highjack my own thread but i am so excited because today i finished and rode another project i had on the back burner. it is a 1978 honda cb400 which i called "sneaky snake".......i kinda thought it fit the tone of this thread! ha ha ha
anyhow, next on the to do list was the front end. i started making a front end for this bike which was going to be a copy of one i had bought for my ironhead project. once i tried out the front end on my ironhead i found that the spring was going to be too weak for that heavy ole bike and i decided to use it for the xs400. i basically cut it down in half and made some new axle plates. i replaced the bushings and rewelded the tab for the spring because it was set up for some major rake. other than that i called it good.
