Hi Julie, The alloy it is made from is stronger than the cast/forged steel OEM part, the pivot point has brass/Bronze bushes pressed in to the alloy horseshoe which is mounted to a EN8 steel bracket, the pivot pin is stainless or i sometimes use EN8 steel, it can also come apart if it needs to be serviced. I designed this part many years ago, i did an update around 3 years ago. over the years i have manufactured and supplied over at least a 1000 of them, not had a failure to date. It's also one of my favorite parts that i have done, nice to put on your desk and look at even if you don't fit it....  Hope this answers your question. Oh and your build thread is great. well done to you. looks like you are doing a great job. Kevin

I do the engraving of the wing myself on a milling machine.
My anodiser contact won't be any good for you as i am in South Africa..!!
I have tried to anodise castings before and 99% of them do not come out nice, goes dark grey. i have been told the reason is the high silicone content in the alloy.
Only parts i have had good results is the switch housings and brake splitter, comes out sort of satin black.

If you have the cam cover removed, remove the rear plate the secures the slipper, the slipper will rise up. hold your finger on the top of the slipper and then back off the tensioner lock bolt on the front of the engine, you should now be able to push down on the slipper which will move the horseshoe, release your finger and it should want to push back up...this will confirm that the horseshoe and tensioner bar is working.
A little trick i do when i have rebuilt an engine is, leave the front lock bolt loose, re-fit the rear plate to the top of the slipper, screw down the 2 M6 bolts until it is nearly home,
leave it proud around 0.5mm, lock the front lockbolt. continue to tighten down the rear 2 M6 bolts until secure.

Any body able to help in finding out a reg number from only the frame /engine number?
I bought a CB400F in 75 i think, then i exported it to South Africa around 1978. i would like to bring it back to the UK and get it registered again.
Thanks Kevin

Valve diameter is the same on 500/550 as the 350/400F etc.
I use a 5.5mm reamer.

Yes they are the same, except for the clutch shafts.
Note: Output shaft seal, check the very small oil feed hole is clear. this is the feed from the secondary pump to supply oil to the gearbox/bearing. I normally use the OEM seal.

Another Photo taken at Deals gap (tail of the dragon US129).
Not sure if this one will load as it's quite large, but will give it a go.
