welcome. your bike looks great. i wish bikes like that were offered over here.

you "i need your comments to make it look better". well, i don't know if that's the case. it nice bike to start with.

you've already gotten lower bars. guess you could look for a set of clubmans if you wanted to go lower.

the only other thing is maybe look for a seat like this one. that way you could get that hump tail look and not have to do anymore than new foam and a new cover. other than that you're golden.

man, i wish the u.s. got bikes like this. i bet that joker gets crazy mpg.

Welcome and I like it the way it is, but then as anyone here will tell you, I am a big fan of the Honda 400 CM/CB series of bikes. That 400 must be one of the bigger bikes in Vietnam, thought that 125's and 185's pretty much dominated the market there just like in the Philippines.
Always ask why.

Thanks a lot for all comments... actually, this bike's size is a shame, it sounds 400cc, but it has a very small engine, everyone tells "she is less than 250cc"

Yes, there are less than 10 cb400ss in vietnam for more than 10 millions citizens, I am the most lucky guy to have her... I love to see and "ride" her everyday... :D...

+1 on the type of seat that Dean Owens posted.

Maybe a different type of mirror. Also change the rear shocks to something much better performing and looking.

Either way, the bike looks great! :kicking:
