Hi. Some advice sort. I have two types of indicator on my 1978 400. Can someone advise me on which is original if any? Also the mounting brackets are different. I believe the short one is original. Any help appreciated.
-
Originals are Stanley and the top bracket in your pic looks CB400/4
-
Bottom indicator is OEM, top is repro. Bottom rear indicator bracket is CB750/CB500 four, top CB400 ;)

Just been out into the garage to check my own 400, the bottom bracket is correct for a 400/4.

I'd go with that too.
Just measured a set I have that came from a 400, shaft length is approx. 65mm.
-
Seeing that Deano400 has not given the measurements of the stems, all I know is the CB750/CB500 is 25mm and the CB400 is 65mm. Don't know if Honda did a longer stem.
If he has taken the picture on a worktop with 20mm staves, that will give the bottom one as about 25mm.
-
I'm guessing the picture was taken with the parts on something like laminate flooring.
That would fit with the body of the bracket measuring approx. 70mm.
Hopefully Deano will confirm which one seems to fit with the measurements.

Thanks all for taking the time to help me out. Further photo attached showing lengths.

Jumping in here, I'm after one or two of the short CB500/750 rear stems and rubber mounts if anyone has any.
No doubt I'll post a desperately seeking in a couple of months as better weather approaches. (Please...)

I might have some. I'll look in the garage tomorrow for you.

Thanks for the replies and for looking. Am looking at the differences, to turn a 500K0 USA model into as near UK spec as I can.

For more reliable flashing, best add a 0V return lead using the screw inside the indicators, connecting it to the green wires under the seat/headlamp shell.
