Brake Torque Arm colour
« on: May 19, 2024, 08:26:55 PM »
I'm beginning to notice the brake torque arm on the CB400F/2 in different colours in different pictures, how should the standard one be?

I'm sure it could be black or BZP, the same as the 500/550. And, it's F I remember correctly, both finishes are the same part number 🤔🤔🤔

These are the two colours I keep seeing Julie! I'm not becoming a fanatic over it, but I'm keen all the same to bring my bike close to original as I go along. Pattern parts are usually ok with me though.  ;)

Just took a look at the part on CMSL ( why you not do this before I hear someone say  ;D ) It seems they start out as BZP, I can see myself stripping the paint and polishing things up, and then finding out why they end up being painted?  :-\
