Alright her new owners is coming to pick her up this week.

Cool!
Please inform the new owner about the bottom end work you did. He will want to have my contact info if he ever wants to rebuild that bottom end with the bronze bush, because a stock bush will not work in that con-rod. Also, I would like to be able to monitor the lifetime of that bronze bush in the Australian conditions with a regular owner in normal use. Australia has typically been very hard to Bullets, and we are trying to overcome that situation.

Not familiar with the newer CB400. In the U.S. we had a bike called the CB-1, which was a 400cc inline four sport style standard. Looks like that bike was available in other countries with a full fairing as the CB400. I do remember the CB400F of the mid '70s, I had one for a couple of years. I believe it was the highest revving street bike of that time.
