   Got a few things done today after work..
sorted out the forks, so I can run the tire the right way, Still can't get the Caliper free....
got the pegs on, the grips, the mirrors, the drag pipes, I will eventually put the 4 to 1s on I just gotta bend em a little so they line up with the flanges.
that seat is the donor that will be my brat style seat soon. Its from an old Triumph.
going to put the carbs on tomorrow, and get that damn caliper apart,
put the coils on, and go look for a clutch lever,
I love this bike, I can't wait till she is on the road. I would literally blow my brains out if I didn't have this bike to keep my mind off my shitty life.
Thanks to yinz guys for all the info along the way.

Dude, your bike looks soooo sick. How is it mechanically? Have you been able to get it run reasonably well? Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network

OK, So I am taking my sweet ass time getting my CB on the road, And I can't miss another riding season... I just can't. So I picked up this little Bad boy:
 A 1982 Suzuki GN400... I figure I will ride her while I'm finishing up the CB then Chop it up and sell it.. Well I couldn't help myself, THis is how she looks now.
    It's the perfect little bike to Bob.. SO i picked up the solo seat, and threw the low bars off the donor CB I have, SO far I fucking love this little bike, It's 1 cylinder. and kick start only. I can't wait to hack off the back end, and bob the rear fender,,,, I need smaller turn signals and a smaller tail light.. And I am going to go to goodwill, or salvation army to find an old ass beat up brown leather jacket to cut up and wrap the bars with it for grips.
I'm thinking of painting the tank white,
I'm definitely going to wrap the pipe, and get a different muffler.. Any suggestions?
this bike is so cool, I love it. So small and nimble. but just a sweet little ride.. I need brass knuckles on there somewhere,, maybe I'll cut metal to the shape of brass knuckles for hearlight ears! that's be awesome!
What do you guys think??

Cool bike City.I like it. I have a pair of brass knuckles that used to be on the valve covers of my old front engine dragster. They are not real brass kunckles.They were made to be belt buckles but i trimmed that part off.If you want them shout at me and I'll send them up.They are made of really cheap metal so you cant weld or tap threads on them. You could only fasten them with epoxy. I have them epoxied on the valve covers and they held up to 125 mph and TONS of vibrations.Holler at me. I love that seat,btw.One question though,whats up with the washer on the seat? I'll get a better pic of the knuckles for ya.

Hey City Slicker,I've got these Lil smoke cateye lights you can have,They get in way of baggs and will get lost or broke,p.m. me an address and soon as I can get to A post office and open. They will be out.
 There only turn signal lights,they get way to hot for running lights,When I decide what to change to up front you'll get thoughs to.

Here they are City.If they look like they will do what you want,holler at me.I forgot to get a pic of the backside.It is textured.About like a vinyl seat,but rougher.I have no idea why they did that. Just keep in mind that one side is weird.
