cb 400 'Coda'

Some of you may recall that I was attempting to turn this pile of bits into something resembling a motorbike

Well it's taken some time time, but apart from a little tittivating and few minor adjustments it's now complete.

Based on a Superdream 400, now MOT'd and taxed, took its maiden voyage last Wednesday, 140 miles to meet it's maker.
I can report that it rides like a dream. A couple of minor issues, the speedo howls like a banshee and it smokes a bit so will need a top-end rebuild in the near future. Once that's done I can get on with the next project :-

A nice solid one owner 1963 c100.

Pete, whenever you do; don’t drop the camchain down the tunnel.

And if you do don’t let your gorilla mate yank at it when it’s jammed.

Chipping a tooth off the crank is a painful lesson.

Ask me how I know...... :D

Promise to be careful, I've been offered another motor gratis, going to get a lidl endoscope today to check the bores.
