foxkawa Topic Author Offline User Posts: 33 Thank you received: 6	Last winter i had a project to build a flattrack of an z400 who had seen his best days. I´m really satisfied about the result. It started with a bike who almost not started ,but i saw the potential to do something about it so i bought it cheap. First stripped the Bike down and then painted frame engine fork wheels, and almost everything else on the bike. Attachments:

The Bike didn´t run so good when i bought it and i suspect it was the carbs so i bought two new mikuni complete with manifolds and throttle cables. After mounting these it started directly and runs so smooth. Attachments:
