When my Dad and I have finished the 75 400f we're doing, we're giving it back to my uncle who bought the bike new, even unloaded it from the wagon and put it together himself and then rode it home.
I thought it might be a nice touch to try and recreate the packing case when we give it back to him, anyone have any pictures of what they would have looked like?

Pedestrian slicer is in a box with a load of bits at the mo whilst i get the frame sorted and try and sort some wheels out. If I cant get a new set of front and rear plates I'll restore the original front one and just get a new rear. Need a new vin plate too ome to think of it, the old one is full of tinworm. Any ideas?

I would not powder coat it simply because they were never powder coated.
I think RAL 9005 satinblack paint comes very close.
That's the comment I was waiting for! I'm going to get they frame and swinger media blasted and then I'll zinc prime and paint them

£97 seems bloody brilliant seeing as Ive just had one quote back for frame and swingarm in satin for £175!
You will need all black metal parts done, frame, swing arm, centre stand, side stand, bottom & top yoke, battery box, foot pegs, clock bracket ect,ect. This will save you a ton of hassle later & all will match.
I wasnt going to get the Yokes done as in my experience it doesnt look right, powder seems a bit too thick if that makes sense? I was just going to get the frame, centre and side stands, peg mounts and the headlight and clock brackets. The rest will get painted

I'm about to start my resto proper on the 400/4 I'm doing with my Dad.
Can anyone advise what the oe finish was on the frame? Ie paint/powder coat/stove enamel?
And, what would be best to replicate it? It's a budget but and bolt resto (if there is such a thing!) but I don't mind paying out for a great finish.
Any help or advice appreciated!

Hi folks, I'm Dave from Wirral, currently doing a very slow resto on my uncles 400/4 with my Dad (who's on here somewhere I think)
Got it all stripped and looking for somewhere decent to get the frame refinished
