Our girls in the undress?
« on: December 17, 2018, 11:14:00 AM »
Bet this post gets a few views. I'm after nudes. The bikes, people, the bikes!! In putting bits back on my bike I've realised there are very few pics around that show where stuff is supposed to go. Particularly interested in things like the wiring loom, bracket orientation, hoses and tubes etc.

Could someone point me at a (SFW) location for pics of a CB400F without the tank, seat and side panels on please?

Your best bet is to use the microfiches on the CMSNL website. Photos are difficult to find on Tinternet and even if you do find any, there is no guarantee the owner has fitted the parts in the correct location or orientation.
Here is a link to the CB400/4 F2 fiche, there is one also for the earlier model

Edit.....if there are any specific parts / areas i can help you with in the way of photos, just shout. The bike is indoor here so i can photograph some bits but, there is still no guarantee i have put all the bits in the correct places either (as him indoor regularly reminds me !!!)  ::) ::) ::)

I might be able to help later this week, if pics of a dirty '77 USA spec would be of interest.  Mine is in storage next door, in tight quarters, but I was hoping to gain access to check a few things anyway.  If I can manage it, I'll take a round of snaps.  As Nurse Julie says, though, no promises about whether things are where they should be...

Thanks both, yes please, I'll take you up on the offer!

My direct problem is that my wee little beastie has been in bits several times over her time on Earth and I think the last 'restoration' was done by someone with less mechanical sympathy than I appear to be displaying. Example, when I took the air filter box apart I carefully took pics so I knew which bolts came from where. When I put it back together, I worked out that the short bolts were in the long holes and vice versa.

So knowing where things 'should' be is kind of necessary at this stage. The Haynes book is sometimes good, the odd unexpected page where I can see the bit in the background is useful. But to have a proper colour zoomable pic would be fantastic.  :)

+1 - if you have any requests, speak up.  Otherwise I'll just "grab" what I can.  Only please don't be disappointed if I can't deliver, I may not have the light or the room to take decent photos...

Hi Sprocket,

I've stripped my Honda down over this year and took a picture or two.

I'm more than happy to send them all to you on a CD. They prove useful.

PM your address and i'll post.

That is a lovely offer I'd like to take you up on, but would you believe I don't have anywhere I can shove a CD now! I could reimburse you for a USB stick - but I appreciate the level of effort is an order of magnitude more and I'll accept a short "no." to the suggestion!

See how the "evolution" of modern technology is helping?

waffey, might you be able to dump them into a dropbox storage folder, or google photos, or some other such, for viewing or download?  I wouldn't mind taking a look myself, and they might be helpful to many more...

Agree they would certainly be helpful to me when it comes to doing my 75 400..
Mine is basically complete but there are plenty of issues that look like previous owners have botched etc so any photos etc would be much appreciated.
When I get to pulling mine down I will certainly be taking lots of pics and will be happy to share as well.

The photos show up fine but they are low resolution and relatively small as it looks like that site is more used for having prints done or calendars etc..
I am not sure you would be able to get much detail from any of those pics to assist in assembly etc.
Nice to see the progression though :)
