Michael McFarland’s 1978 CB400 Hawk II
Here’s a pic of my first attempt at a cafe racer. She’s a ’78 CB400 Hawk II. She rolled in the garage a normal little cruiser but (lots of choice words and busted knuckles later) rolled out a loud, shiny curve hugger. She’s been a blast, and the odometer just rolled over 13,000 original miles. Of course, nothing in my garage is ever finished so I’m still playing with more ideas to hop her up.
She’s a thing of beauty, Mr. McFarland!! Well done, sir!! :)
Awesome Dude! You should have also mentioned that she is a Nut buster! Congrats :)
Love it! We should race!
She’s a beauty! Just picked up a 78 Hawk hondamatic, and would love to put the same seat on it. Could you provide my with any info on the make and model? or advice on the mounting (would like to keep the rear fender in play) Thanks
Hey Jim,
I’m not sure if the owner of the bike is going to see your question, and I can’t find the email address he sent the picture and info on. You might want to check this site out for options: http://legendary-motorcycles.com/caferacerseats.html . Sound like you’ve got a really fun project ahead of you!
