I had figured the next bike would be a fighter. Always wanted one. But damned if I didnt fall into another chop.
Found a CB400, guy didnt want much, lots of parts, already hardtailed, and had 10" over forks. My wife told me to buy it. God I love her. She called it a month early birthday present.
Spent the weekend tinkering, and hopefully by next weekend I'll be riding it.
Picked it up for $300 looking like the first pic. Came with almost a 2nd bike worth of parts, which I sold to my brother for $100, bought a few things including a new tank, and I'm currently $285 into it. And loving every minute.
Its a 1978 400, has 80s 650 wheels on it, tank is from a 72 qa50, 50* of rake, cheap style hardtail that was already done, headlight is a cop spotlight, quick and dirty.
