I like how surprisingly little space it takes up parked on the sidewalk. Pretty narrow motorcycle, that.
I am disappointed at the use of a crappy cable and padlock to secure it to a poor little tree though. A robust pair of diagonal cutters, linemans pliers, bolt cutters or even a $10 bow saw on the tree could all be used to liberate that bike.
Better than no lock at all though, I guess.

That is an extraordinarily poorly done cafe racer conversion.

That rear tire looks so sketchty.

A cafe racer? I hear those make great first bikes.

No headlight, license plate, and I can’t figure out if the rusty bar on the back is turning the bike into a hard tail.

It’s so poorly done I can’t help but like it a little.

It’s a collection of bad cafe racer memes.
Ebay seat? Check.
Mounted nowhere close to properly on the frame? Check.
Poorly-installed rear hoop? Check.
Absolutely NO flow of the body line at the bottom of the tank through the seat and frame? Check.
Clubman bars? Check.
Shitty ebay turn signals? Check.
No consideration given to instruments and that hilarious choke cable? Check.
Gratuitous LED strips? Check.
That CB400 deserves better. I also get the sneaking suspicion those “turn signals” are actually projector-beam headlights, and the actual turn signals are the LED strips glued onto the tank. Fucking atrocious.

Exactly. So rough around the edges that you can’t help but admire it. I’d still prefer one big round headlight, however.

Hmm - I’ve heard that somewhere recently...

I know I’ll hide the turn signals back here on the tank where most people won’t be able to see them, especially since they are tiny LEDs with a bunch of things in front of them. Brilliant

Surprisingly I like the two small headlights. They need to put them above the bottom triple tree though, if the forks bottom out things are gonna get broken.
