Recumbent Honda 400

Some of you may have read my previous effort 'Recumbent Honda 90', I think I've gone as far as I can with that. It was originally a 'suck it and see' experiment which was a prelude to building a more serious tool.
As it turned out, it was far better in many respects than I had hoped.

On to the next project, which is now almost completed.

A collection of bits assembled into a rolling chassis, ready for sanding and painting.
Custom made fuel tank and airbox (not yet installed), rear subframe, steering linkage, fairing brackets and numerous other small parts plus an extended swingarm.



Fibreglass painted, ready for installation.





Installation complete.





The bike is now road legal, and I can confirm it rides well, is very stable and very comfortable. Too early to tell yet, but because of the improved aero it should be economical.
