My 1976 UK CB400 has only miles.
That would be the F model as opposed to the F2?

Does the UK CB400F2 have a speedometer have both MPH and KPH on it?

Just took a look at the part on CMSL ( why you not do this before I hear someone say ) It seems they start out as BZP, I can see myself stripping the paint and polishing things up, and then finding out why they end up being painted?

I'm sure it could be black or BZP, the same as the 500/550. And, it's F I remember correctly, both finishes are the same part number 🤔🤔🤔
These are the two colours I keep seeing Julie! I'm not becoming a fanatic over it, but I'm keen all the same to bring my bike close to original as I go along. Pattern parts are usually ok with me though.

I'm beginning to notice the brake torque arm on the CB400F/2 in different colours in different pictures, how should the standard one be?

In the end only three got changed. At some point I'm going to need to take the head off again as cylinder # 4 has a scratch in it and a rebore looms, that would be a better time to deal with this.

I took my bike in today to have the oil pump seals changed and get a set of genuine Honda exhaust mounting studs fitted to replace the rust prone homemade junk currently in place.
The mechanic had to tell me he would only try so hard if any are very stubborn, lest they snap off. If that happened where would I stand though?

That is an awful lot of grief to take Bryan, I really feel for you.

Been out to Blackheath with it's fabled Tea hut in south London. Not many bikes about today but the object of the journey was a paint drying run, I've given the engine a bit of a makeover. More work pending!

Interesting post! I can't help wondering how do they preserve a fish to go on the wall, they haven't got a pelt or something like other animals.

Now pour it into the petrol for super performance!

For a moment I wondered if it might be a valve stem oil seal and how on earth did it get there, but no. Actually I think it may end up being a foreign body, not off the bike?

A lot of the time the old copper outer exhaust gaskets set like dark concrete and look like part of the head taking severe prodding and levering to remove, many times i have found 2 gaskets in the hole!
I had to a lot of probing and exploring to satisfy myself nothing lurked in the holes, and that the cheapskate in the past had not replaced them! I hope I got it right.
