Adding Originality to the Original Color: CB400SB Custom
AUTO SHOP AOYAMA's CB400SB
Compared to the CB1300SB, the CB400SB has far fewer exclusive parts, but AS Aoyama has covered such negative aspects with a little ingenuity to build this machine with a touch of originality. At a glance, This bike modifications are the titanium exhaust by Yamamoto Racing and BABYFACE rearsets, but if you look closely, you will find that the decals on the front fender and upper cowl has been changed to those of later models, and the side covers have also been painted. The color change was done by using OEM parts for the different year models to differentiate them.
Replacing decals is a time-consuming task in the process of this customization. Large decals are difficult to release air bubbles gotten under, and it is also difficult to apply them symmetrically. The coloring of this machine, which is not part of the regular lineup, is a result of the color change that was made by adding this extra effort. The "R" emblem of CB-Racer enhances a sense of premium.
Intake & Exhaust
Yamamoto Racing Titanium Exhaust improves exhaust efficiency and lighten the bike.
Handle
