CB350/400 / Trying to track down a CB400f
« on: December 27, 2020, 04:56:17 PM »
Hi I wonder if any of our members know the current owner of a 1976 Blue Honda CB400f registration RBH 72R. It is presently not taxed and the last V5 was issued 27th November 2018.
There is a good chance it’s still out there it was originally from the Bedford area.
Many thanks.

CB350/400 / Carburettors before and after pictures
« on: October 20, 2019, 09:32:13 AM »
Well after removing the carbs to investigate the leak on no 4 the floats were very badly marked and I have no idea what the previous owner did to them but it looks like they were shot blasted whilst still built up. The floats and float bowls were in a bad state so I sent them to Gerben in Holland for a complete rebuild and replacement of parts.

CB350/400 / Exhaust Collet/Clamp advice
« on: September 21, 2019, 11:53:39 AM »
Took the exhaust off to clean it and had the collets blasted due to lack of chrome lol, what’s the best high temperature paint to use for painting them.
Ive also sent the carbs off to Bergen in Holland for the full works so I’m not in a rush.

Announcements / New number plate rules
« on: September 10, 2019, 09:43:16 PM »
This is the link to the latest update to number plate rules and regulations, interestingly more vehicles are now eligible to display the black and white plates
Vehicles made before 1 January 1973 may display traditional ‘black and white’ number plates (for example, white, silver or grey characters on a black plate). From April 2019 vehicles manufactured before 1 January 1979 are also able to display traditional ‘black and white’ number plates. You must:
• haveappliedtoDVLA
• beregisteredwithinthe‘historicvehicles’taxclass.

CB350/400 / Air filter box panching plates and gauze filter
« on: September 06, 2019, 04:56:33 PM »
Hi after reading a post earlier I realised I didn’t have the lower air filter part on my bike I only had the breather chamber which was not connected.
It consists of the breather pipe from the head to the chamber then it filters gasses back up into the air filter box, this is all situated below the filter area.
I managed to source the panching plate A, our good Nurse Julie posted how to make a filter from a scourer and I then made the panching plate B from the inside of a used air filter as this part is discontinued.
The parts in the diagram are numbers 24, 25 & 26

CB350/400 / Clock refurb
« on: September 04, 2019, 02:40:10 PM »
Just started on the refurbishment of my 400f clocks largely due to fading of the dial fascia, the actual glass was filthy but has cleaned up really well. I also had a horrible bent trip meter shaft that has been successfully straightened.
I have ordered the new dials from CB750 faces along with the rubber grommet for the trip.

I managed to warm up the twist bit for the trip and pry it off saving me unscrewing the trip shaft.
Anyone any ideas for what paint to use for the needle ends which is a red colour originally, also what colour is the black on the surround gloss or matt, I’m going to wet and dry them before painting.
Thanks Gary
