400F Pattern Brake Lines

[AshimotoK0]

Anyone used these or know if it's possible to somehow fit the protection spring from the old OEM hose?

Or does anyone have another source for repro hoses? Preferably in BZP. I already have the solid metal one in BZP.

Yes it can be feed on the hose. Just put something on the ends of the spring as, they scrape the plating off the ends mate

I just bought a set of brake pipes from Honda Classics for my 400F because they are the only ones I can find that are have BZP fittings like the OEM ones had. Quality looks really good and I managed to thread the spring on the top hose as Trigger suggested BUT I think the  top hose is for 350F primarily as it is slightly longer than my 400F '75 original. Will this  be OK?

Service from him was spot on in terms of packing quality and delivery time.

I have asked Roger via email about the extra length .. will see what comes back. The spring looks fine on it and cover the complete section of the rubber hose.

What length did he send you Ash ?
Extra length depends on how much extra. As all aftermarket lines will not be spot on

I received this reply back, just need to check taht the 500/750 ones are BZP fittings.

"Hello Ashley

All good thank you, hope the same for you?

Not just a rumour as the business is now formally up for sale, see home page of our website.

I reached 70 recently so need to start winding down from 6-days/week working!

Hoping someone may buy the business and I’ll offer to do 2-3 days/week, which I would like to do.

If no buyer I’ll spend all next year gradually winding the business down, so I think I will be here for a while yet!

Meanwhile its business as normal.

Thank you for your purchases. The top hose should be fine on your CB400F, these aftermarket sets are slightly different in sizes to be more universal on handlebar heights.

We don’t have the hose sets in stock for the CB750-K0 and CB500-K0 but I can get them in a few days. Both sets are £48 plus VAT each.

Hope that may help.

Kind regards

Roger"
