Anyone have an original or a good look-alike horn for sale for my 1975 400f?
Just asking before I get an aftermarket from DS

Yep, electronic ignition.
That bit provides the timing pulse as the crankshaft rotates, then the box up by the coils interpretss that signal and switches the coils on and off to make the sparks.
Is that a 'good thing'? I guess if the bike isn't broke don't fix it is my first thought, if anyone has different thoughts, let me know. thanks.

This is how it links to my coils, there is also one other wire, a ground, that connatcs to the frame under the seat.
The box does not open, it is a sealed unit.
It does not itself connect directly to the points.

What is this bit linked to the Coils?

It was zip-tied under the fuel tank, at the rear, under the rubber cusion and the wires go to each coil.
Is it a genuine part and should it be under the tank? It works, as in the bike starts but as I am re-wiring it with a new loom I want to know what it is and where it should live.
Thanks.

Should I lacquer the patches after painting? If so, what do I use?

I think that 'Sub Cord, Magnetic (non O.e. Japanese Alternative' willl do tthe trick perfectly.Thanks
I just did not know what to specifically look for.

Check where the wires in the loom go to, from memory red/white goes to rectifier and red to ignition switch or fuse box depending on year.
Let me know and i will tell you what to connect where, bike would be helpful as well, and please dont say its in sig details, i like most never look there!

Starting Magnetic Switch has a Red & White cable and Red Cable coming from it. I have just replaced the wiring loom and the new loom has a Box Connector on it. I am sure it is for this cable, however, the old loom had this cable on a 'double bullet' connection. This looks like a patch job to me.
I made a patch with spades to fit the box, the bike started. What I need is a new cable that will fit into this Box connector. I can only presume it is a sealed connection due to the high voltage passing through it so I don’t want to use the patch I made as the spades could easily touch or arc. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Mostly it is where nuts and bolts have been, as an exaample, I have removed the rear indictors and under there the paint could do with a touch up. Other areas are under the tank for sure. Any part of the frame that is visible that needs a patch would be small, not larger than 1cm I would say.
Not a fussy job just a remedial job where required.

I want to touch up a few areas on the frame with a Gloss Black Paint as I am replacing the wiring loom, any suggestions which paint to buy?
