W.T.F Guess I will start a rebirth thread for my 400. Not too sure how much longer she will be green, but the Burple frame will be dispatched for a nice semi flat black color. Already posted some pics of before on the other forums, not pretty at all. Lots of work, little money, but finally, a good bit of long overdue ambition. A few parts to the 400 puzzle.  |

It's been awhile since we sat on the side of the road waiting for a lift in Tweed... Not that we weren't comfy waiting!  It will be good to see it back on the road in top form Steve! |

Yes yes Andrew, we did over 200 miles that day according to Ians calculations.
Less than a mile from his place when she finally gave out.
Going to be a pretty much, shoe string budget for the fix up.
Biggest concern was the ignition electricals which are being addressed.
1st thing is to install repaired stator and see if she has spark.
If it does, I plan only to pull the jugs and inspect, as she was fairly tight and ran great before losing spark.
New tires are being ordered as these were new in 2009. Replace KZ front end with refurbished KH400 parts and wheel.
Eventually, as cash flow permits, here is the plan.
Going to use the Cruizin Image 20 over pistons I bought years ago.
Will check the crank over for fatigue and bearings etc. and rebuild if need be.
Ex caliper front brake.
May see how much work it would be to hang the Tracy on it too.
How big of a car do I need to put that body inside of it Andrew???

You going to bring it to the Tub, you got a month, pitter patter. No Perry, I wont be able to make Tobermory again this year. When they called me back to work, they offered me a 9-5 M-F position as shipping manager. I told them I am taking long (5+ days) weekends for Paris, Mid Ohio and RBs bash. But with a bit of luck she will be ready to smoke up Willow Street this June. |
