I'm not sure, the bike came like that. I'm heading out for a wee ride round the loch in a few minutes, I'll try and take some close up photos of it all so maybe one of the experts on here can identify the bits.

The price I paid for my AGV Corsa R helmet 2 years ago is 6 times the price I paid for that 400N brand new. Of course our currency went into the toilet years ago so the exchange rate is really crappy.

This is off topic but it's still on my bucket list to visit South Africa someday. Post more pics! I thought I would get a chance because my company just sold a machine there, but with this Covid stuff it appears that our trainer in Belgium will get the assignment. Bummer. 

I'd like to be able to say that I know more about South Africa than what can be gleaned from watching Die Antwoord videos. 😀

Our borders are sealed and will stay so for the foreseeable future so I don't think your colleague will be here anytime soon.

You're in a better position than me, I'd never heard of Die Antwoord! Not really into hip hop 😝

I found a picture of my own CB400N, this was us having a rest on the way from Johannesburg to Durban back in 1981. Note the black chrome Moriwaki 2-1 pipe and the Fiamm air horns, even back then I liked a good sound when I hit the hooter button.

The distance is around 550km and in those days it wasn't the freeway it is now so it took most of the day to get there.

This is the bike loaded up for a 2 week holiday, believe it or not we rode it 2 up like this!

I still have that open face helmet tied on the back but I don't wear it anymore.

Moriwaki ! Think I'll sticker that over my scorpion, another great name from the past. Cb400n. When we didn't need a bike called 'Adventure' to have one.  Rode round France 2 up with camping gear on my Kwaka 250 triple. What a great picture.

1982 Yamaha Maxim 400

1984 Honda Shadow VT700C

2015 Yamaha FJ-09

I owned the Shadow from 1997 to 2015 and put about 30K miles on it. It took less than four years to put 30K on the FJ. It is way more fun!
