THis is my cb400n(1984) that i should hopefully be on soon. ive raised up the back end so now its a foot of the ground. unfourtanetly the only way ill ever grind a foot peg is if ive tryed and gone too far. Laughing i want to paint most of it black including the front wheel so its like the back. but ive got a bit left to do before im happy with it.

Let me know what you think???

Hi

Had one many years ago (OYY249Y). Why does it have an earlier rear wheel?

All the best

Looks cool!

Can you get a few pics of your shock lengtheners? I'd like to see how you did it!

i think at one point it was rear ended and replaced because the backend alignment is a little off
