the story goes........... i had a yamaha rd200 d , running well and in ok condition. a friend had a honda cb400f in boxes. it had blown number three piston and was completly stripped.we done a straight swap. it was a worse mess than i thought , my friend had been on the move quiet a bit and i had to backtrack through his adresses to recover all the parts.

above is a pic of the way i bought it, it took 4 days to get together costing about 100 punts for the rebuild (1 piston, 1 set rings, gaskets and paint). it was nice to work on . everything seemed nice n logical . no manual needed.

a couple of pics of the finished product

maximum overload...lol. ready to head off to the isle of man tt back in 93.two up and enough gear to survive a holocaust. it took it all in its stride
