Finally came out
« on: May 16, 2020, 03:32:47 PM »
Hi all, i have been lurking in the shadows for a few weeks but  since you seem a decent bunch i thought i would finally come out. I have a F0 400/4 and a F2 both running not spot on but passably well and will hopefully improve. It took a year on and off to get all the electrical gremlins out of the F2 which the PO had fitted at no extra charge, the F0 is pretty much as Honda intended, was unmolested till i got it and has 'car like' reliability. Biggest problem i've had with it was getting Swansea to make it £0 VED, according to David Silver's guys it is a 1976 build but it was first registered in January 1978. Found out along the way that it has a North Europe rear mudguard so might have been imported. Anyway, finally managed to persuade someone at Swansea that it could'nt have been made and UK registered in a month and they grudgingly made it a 1977 build  ::) Hoping to get out on one or the other before Xmas. Safe riding all.

Thanks taysidedragon and thanks Nurse Julie. I've bought oil pump 'O' ring sets from your eBay site in the last year/18 months. All good and great service. Cheers.

Welcome to the 400four forum.  Any chance of some photos of your bikes?
Where's that 10mm socket got to?
