You sometimes have to look 'out of the box' and eek out parts from places that don't normally deal with us Brits.

e.g. Look what I just got from the 'Land of the Rising Yen'

Don't see these every day NOS and Genuine.

Cheers for the offer Ralph but I a couple of spares anyway.

Bung it on ebay ... you never know, as they can rust quite badly

I think they are a great little bike,I very nearly bought one from DK not to long ago.

Mick
I DID buy one from DK Mick... Did a deal outside of eBay for less than a grand plus they found the USA title for it at the 11th hour and also threw in some missing bits including the wrong 'G5' carbs  which I then  sold for over a 100 quid on eBay. Most of the chrome on the DK was immaculate inc. rims, mudguards, one piece exhausts etc. I already have a red CB250 K0, like the prototype one, but the DK ones is going to be Candy Blue/Green and white.I  don't like the solid  'Forest Green' much myself  or the 'solid' 'Sardine Blue'.

Well nobody's chipped in with a landed price to the UK inc. VAT
So here is the simplistic Ashimoto estimate.

If they do end up being decent quality inc double skinned headers then  eat your heart out the likes of bikepusher  on eBay with their 'Worth 1500GBP 'all day long' asking prices for NOS systems.


750K0 No.No. Yamiya exhausts 165000 Yen= 1338 GBP inc landed in UK
400/4 Downpipes Yamiya 52000 Yen  converts to 52/165 x 1338 = 421 GBP
400/4 Silencer Yamiya 28000 Yen convert to 28/165 x 1338 = 227 GBP

Downpipes & silencer = 648 GBP

Just discovered these I stored in my Dropbox.

They do look good quality.  I wonder how much P&P is.

Ask David at Saisei for a quote . He's always very reasonable on prices and an official Yamiya agent for Europe. The re-manufacture and  supply of these has got to be a milestone in the history of the 400/4 IMHO.

How strange , after them telling you they had no plans to do them
pete

Strange yes but two years ago DK told me they would never import CB350 twins in any significant numbers. Now they import shed loads of CB's & CL's

If they are anything like the 750 no. no.  pipes going to be high quality I reckon.

Send DSS a message via FB to see if he is stocking them .

Ash, it is discontinued but try a couple of Yamaha marine people to see if they have any old stock as it seemed to be used a lot on them according to the US sites, they also might have an equivalent. I take it its a high temp laquer?

Cheers  will do that it's for cam covers on twins , brake hubs and alloy fork sliders. It was recommended by a CBX resto club.

Anyone know where I can get this from. Suspect it may be discontinued. Anyone know an equivalent, possibly Eastwood Diamond clear?

New Member Introductions / Re: Hello Paul here from Leeds
« on: June 17, 2015, 08:15:22 AM »
Welcome Paul from a fellow 750K0 owner! I am in Willerby near Hull Yorkshire but my 2 daughters live in Leeds. Dropped one of them their Nissan Micra off last week and got the train back. Just before I left I thought I would check the boot and I had mistakenly  left 4 bikes worth of metal parts ( 1x CB750K0, 3x CB250/350K)  in the boot being prepped for re-zinc plating  :-[ . So I was sat at Burley Park station waiting for the train home with two 'Bags for life'  full of metal. Weighed a bloody ton or seemed like it. Had arms like Popeye when I got home.

Please post pics of your bikes.

Thought you would have realized by now that I am a bit of a nutter Steff. Cheers for opening the bag. A Dutch guy on HondaTwins.net refused to look me up a few part numbers in his rare Honda parts manual for my CB250K0.. said he was too busy and implied that the site is only a forum and not for exchange of data! That's why this forum is so good, we all tend to help each other out if we can.

Seems I have eight straight  correct part number ones and no angled ones. So eBaying 4 of the straight ones and hoping to buy angled ones. A single angled one NOS went for 45GBP last week on eBay and you can buy a full set including spark  plugs new for 80 from Andy Cepoc.....ludicrous. I guess my 400/4 should have them too as it's a 9/75 reg one. Anyone know if the parts are the same for the 400F?

I guess I am getting hold of them for the same reason you have a new set Steff ..... to make original in the event of a sale in the future. I will fit the Black plastic ones for my own use.

Ash

Cheers .. Ash
