greetings from Hampshire
« on: January 29, 2018, 04:48:59 PM »
Hello there everybody, delighted to be here. The forum has already proved very helpful for me as a guest, so it seemed only right to join in properly. Oh yes, the bike in question is a 1977 400/4.
Regards,

Arfa

Hi Arfa, and welcome! Feed your 400/4 some steroids, then it will grow into the best looking of all the SOHC's, A 750F1 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

Welcome Arfa. I think you purchased a CB400/4 oil pump O ring kit from my eBay page a few days ago......it's a very small world this SOHC community  ;D ;D
Welcome to the forum. What state is your bike in, on the road or in boxes?

Welcome Arfa from Orkney (sunny but windy today)
Lots of good reliable info on here.  Julie, it can be both!  When I was given my ‘Scottish’ 400/4 it was actually in boxes on the road 😜. Didn’t take long to load it into my mates P100 pickup though.

Can there ever be too many Honda motorcycles? I guess if all the step-throughs alone were in one place that would be a big pile. Anyhow I'm delighted with the warm reception, and yes Julie, I did buy one of your O ring kits.

Pictures in the 350/400 forum when I've mastered the art.

Arfa.
