Time to start a build thread! as some of you might know, my 400 blew up on me a few months back! Well I'm pleased to say I DID NOT sell it on as spares and I DEFO DID NOT break it!
So far, Had the engine swapped out for an L9 motor that had done a poxy 1500 miles! Comes with a slipper clutch and different gearing! Absolutely love it. But Couldn't stop there!
So far I have.
- Painted frame in a matt black finish.
- Painted rear hugger kawaki green!
- Tidy up on entire bodywork
- L9 Motor!
- Heated grips.
Here is what she looks like at the moment!
Next to do list is:
- New chain and sprocket.
- Caliper refurbishment.
- AMS Motorsport rear single road seat with twin round lights!
- Digital dash
- New Fireblade/BMWS1000RR style short exhaust!
Will keep this updated as I got along, Looking good so far, The blue NEEDS to go, but shall tackle that once I've got an AMS rear road seat!
Dive in people, give me things to do!

I agree with Mori man, I might paint my frame black as I think it looks really nice, and on the hugger I have a black one and a green one, I tried the green one and for fear of persecution thought it looked too green
