I think you will find the outer 2 exhaust ports on the CB400 are angled to miss the frame rails so it won't line up with the NC29 exhaust ports.

Lovely bit of kit though.

But what about the triarm? thats probably closer to the cb400, and might work. Then again if it as a direct fit then it would be listed as fitting :(

I saw it over the snowed in period,emailed them and got all excited.The Google imaged the bike and what I saw was an upright retro type bike.WHY? do a system for that.

parus.if aky do a system they do it very well and probably better made than most,plus its the dogs bo**cks of makers.
you need to find a shot of the head front on to see if its yeah or neh.
i havent looked much yet but there must be loads of stuff in japan with that bike so may still be worth looking.reason for making it must be the amount of demand over japan means its viable for them as they have stopped lots of bigger stuff i assume due to lack of demand,02-03 r1 for instance.nothing on the site.
it'll be interesting to get a definitive answer.or maybe ring the uk importers and see what they say?
