Hey if you're happy with the changes who really gives a rats rectum what others think. Main thing is you're out riding it.

When the CB400/4 came out i used to wander to the shop and just stare through the window for ages, i finally got a 76 model in late 1980.
Rode the thing through 3 rebuilds and after 200,000 kms turned it into a better racebike (it was a weekend racer till then) .
Powroll 455 high comp pistons
Yoshi F1 cam
S/S valves with 3 angle face
Much head porting and polishing
Yoshi valve springs and collets
Altered ratio box from a few diff Hondas to lower the overall gearing
Custom built 4 into 1 pipe
CB 650 electronic ignition and coils (i hated the points failing at 14000rpm)
Twin disc front from CB400/N
28 mm slide carbs for Kwaka Z1000
Lots of little bits of kit to many to list with no memory like me.
Used to manage a 1.09 round Wanganui (old layout) and a 1.20 at Manfeild .
Sold it to a guy that was going to put it back after a very bad crash caused by a motor blow and he just stuck it in a box and never touched it.
The only bike i ever really regret selling.
Paul.
never owned a honda 4 however I have ended up acquiring some ex mot shoei panniers & rear crashbars of a police /traffic CB550
if anybody is interested in them contact me
