South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

hello all, this is just so all us 400's can meet and chat about them and find out who, where and how many there actually is of us!

so i'll start, i have a CBR400RR NC23 Tri-Arm 1989 in white, i live in Bideford, North Devon and work in Plymouth (navy.......don't even think about it!!!) so i like to go down to jaspers a lot.

well start posting!!!
and if anybody fancies the idea of a get-together then that'll be cool.

I ride and break, and trash a ZXR400 on what use to be a daily basis, but it is now getting a small rest and rebuild, ready to be destroyed again in the near future!
Its an L3 model Uk bike, and is L reg, and is quite different!

do we have a SWB splinter group?

splinter group? what do you mean by that? i'm on a thick and dull day so you must excuse me!!!

and don't trash it tom, but thrash it!!!

I ride a CBR400 NC23 1988 and we do weekly meets look in the ride and meet section

Trash, and thrash baby!

i know angel, i love your bike it is really nice (have seen pictures), i'm looking to get mine up to show spec, (topic 'modifying a CBR400RR')

you live in exmouth don't you??? i reconize the backround in one pic!!! small world!
i'll have a look in ride and meet but if not keep posting on here as i would like to start doing some stuff re bikes!!! once i get back into britain that is, 9 days to go!

I live in exeter, ive replace both mids and left lower fairng on the bike since i have had it, get all my parts from Graham France he specialises in our bikes

yeah i have heard about him, what is his e-mail address??? so i can speak to him, and that pic was taken in exmouth then, the very very end of the beach where that tiny roundabout is, which is only there for you to turn completely around! oh yeah a slipway too!!!

i need to get a complete new engine for mine as this one it buggered! but i have spoken to honda spares (.com) about that and that is £500 minus electrics!
i will be coming down to exeter in the next couple of weeks to see my sister so we can always meet up and go for a ride on time.

well off to bed but keep posting and i'll get back on 2moz!! speak soon angel!!!
cheers

chris

His email address is: graeme.france@tesco.net but it's best to call him on 07778628448.

He knows pretty much everything you can know about NC23 (Even Honda call him if they have a problem!!) Tell him what you want and he'll know if it's possible.
Like I said in the other thread he had a NC23 engine that had done only 5,000miles and offered it to us for £200, He does full stainless steel systems (Kelly has one) and CBR600 rear shocks.

The pics was taken down Exmonth right at the end, Looks like a lovely day but it was minus temps almost, most of the cars we passed still had snow on them.

i have a vfr 400 nc30. Its on a k plate and is grey and black. Pretty rare colours. Fairings are getting tatty now so have just put a bid on ebay for these.



Arse been outbid already lol

We have the 'Dark Side' could this be the 'Pocket Side'?

yeah could be the pockect side....... i might have to start a revelation!!!! lol
did you get the fairing morts??? they look quite nice and in good cond too

cheers dyna, i'll drop him an e-mail soon, how much did the stainless cost?? and where is he based??? kellys bike is really nice and hopefully mine will be somewhere near that, i think i'll drop the idea of the RC211V fairing as it'll cost too much! still have to pay off phone bill first... i won't say how much!!! oops.

so the pics are quite recent, it is chilly up here in the northen gulf but when we go to Dubai again it'll be nice hot 'n' sunny!!! just to rub it in!
cheers dudes
