42mm is far too big for 400cc!

I think you mean 32mm?

I think so too. 42mm is to big for a 400cc engine.

This is an awesome thread. I always wanted to do these kind of things to my own RVF and found it was cheaper to buy a 750...so I did. It does feel a larger bike than the 400, and I miss the chuckability of a 400cc RVF.

Keep it up. Superb.

Mark.

Yes i look at other bikes, but all the bodies are to big. I think you can take the bodies out of a honda cb400 but to find one is not easy.
So i think the jenvey bodies are the best solution. I didn´t think that it was so difficult to fit the bodies with all the parts.

Now the first stacks arrive. We want to make the stacks in several lengths.
20mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm.
Mounted 20mm stacks.
I put all the parts in a parcel and sent it to Thorsten Durbahn. He has to do the rest.
