Cheers Tom, fantastic - thanks for your help. It appears the tank may be original which is great. Just gotta swap it to your Parakeet yellow & perhaps source some OEM side panels as mine really are crappy.
Thanks again,
Lobo

DSS now offer repro tanks + panels with decals finished in Varnish Blue or Parakeet Yellow. The blue around £390, the yellow at £450. Both tanks include fuel tap assy.
But the quality? Looking for (informed) comments ...

Hi all,
Would like to revert my '77 F2 to the Parakeet Yellow of that year, can anyone recommend a good paint shop who'll do a great job - inc decals & lacquer coat? Been quoted at one place £350 + VAT inc the Sidepanels. (Hampshire / Reading area)
Alternative is to sell my tank / panels & buy the DSS parts, all complete @ £450+ VAT. Anyone any experience of this replica tank quality / paint finish ... and comment whether it'd severely affect the value etc of my machine.
Cheers,
Lobo

Thanks guys. I assume from this no part numbers etc stamped into the underside - my tank is not nearby but I have had a thorough look all about it (inc underside) & nothing at all in respect of markings. Cap / lock all a great fit - have no reason to suspect the tank apart from the matching side panels seem a bit too...er...light.
Tom, out of interest, just forward of the aft-most horizontal 'flange' (that the seat rubber mount captures) my tank has a small downwards vertical flap, pressed out of this whole bracket. Does this tie in with your OEM tank please? (sorry, bike in a lock-up 40 miles away - ie no pics)
Cheers,
Lobo
(On the subject what defines the OEM Sidepanels? I'm guessing mine not OEM, as appear to be light polycarbonate mouldings.) Originals made from....?

Hi all,
The side panels on my 'new' 400F are obviously repros, but the tank... unsure. Can anyone tell me how to positively confirm these parts as OEM or otherwise?
You've guessed it, new to the CB400F....
Cheers,
Lobo

Pete, the tank...read elsewhere a trick is to fill the tank with water & freeze it...but taking great care towards 'the end' & choosing the right time versus bursting it. Fraught perhaps! But possibly worth experimenting with an old dog of a tank before committing the beauty you have. Good luck with whatever you decide.
