Come on Joe, proper beer please - not that frothy continental stuff ....

and I've already got a Yoshimura 4into1 system for it - but with rather too much rust

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That just leaves the big bore kit then?

I'm a little surprised as I imagined that you did all the modding on the Falco and reconed the 400/4 would have been restored to original.

Yoshimura piston kit type CB400F 54.5mm. Still in packaging, brand new.
It's the Yoshimura 458cc kit.

As for return to standard - Nah.
I had the bike from 1yr old (the bike's age - not mine) and made a number of changes back then. There were other things I wanted to do back then - like upside down forks .... but nobody made them - along with a number of other things that didn't exist I'd concluded that forks would be better in the other way up. Now they're available, they'll be going on - along with wheels that can take modern tyres and brakes that work in the wet.
The Yoshi big bore was also something I wanted to do .... and at last one came up and didn't go for the sort of megga money that the previous few did.

It'll be a while till I get round to sorting all this out though.

LOL - OK as long as the word "calim" means "I would really like but recognise I will never have".

They are now tyred-up and have discs attached and are just waiting for some better weather before I fit them.
