CB350/400 / Brake Caliper Black or Polished« on: January 30, 2024, 05:17:19 PM »
Should my brake caliper be painted black or left shiney...?
I see in the worksop manual it is black then I see on 'car and classic' some are painted or even just the inside caliper is black. This being a UK 1975 model if that makes a difference. 5

CB350/400 / Re: This piston must need replaced?« on: January 24, 2024, 09:18:48 AM »To the original question....the stainless piston option is a good one. Experience on here is that they are well made and work well.I noticed that the Haynes book suggests smearing the piston with Brake Fluid before inserting back into the caliper body. Is the silicone grease a better choice or is there a good reason to use it? Thanks 7

I was just about to ask if that supplier had a good reputation, mainly because I did not see Julies' store having the part. Nor does 400fourbits have a nice enough replacement. 8

CB350/400 / Re: Spokes-One by One« on: August 29, 2023, 05:44:46 PM »
OK, I can get on board with that.
Any reccomemndations on spoke wrenches to use? Or any other useful tools for the job?I don't think I even have a tyre lever. 11
CB350/400 / Spokes-One by One« on: August 29, 2023, 05:36:23 PM »
Planning for the winter here, I want to replace the spokes on both wheels.
Is it possible to literally remove an old spoke and repace it with the new one and repeat the process to the end? My train of thought on this is to make sure I lace the wheels up properly. Thanks. 12

Anyone have an original or a good look-alike horn for sale for my 1975 400f?
