While checking my wiring on the rebuild I noticed that my ignition switch was connected to the loom with 5 individual spade connectors, this would have originally been a multi plug does anyone know if I can buy the correct one of these plugs to fix it to the switch.

I'm just about ready to overhaul my carbs, my bike had a Motad 4 into 1 fitted from what I can remember Motad olways advertised that you don't need to up your jets. I have managed to procure a standard set of headers which I am getting rechromed and I have got a Marshal deep tone tailpipe which is what I wanted as it is the same as what I had in 1982 ( my profile picture) does anyone have any ideas of what size of jets I should fit as for obvious reasons I don't want to be pulling the carbs on and off.

Im looking for input from anyone who has recently had a set of exhaust headers rechromed. Ive decided to go the direction of getting a second hand set rechromed rather than buying a new pattern set from DS, as I have heard of various problems, I have used Agbrigg in Leeds in the past to do one of my other bikes and the chrome seems to be wearing well and he turnred it around in about 4-5 weeks which is good. He quoted me between £250- 300 to do a set which I think probably would be the going rate these days, Who would anyone recommend.

I have My engine stripped down and I am wondering what to do with the crank cases, I am going to polish the outer casings, I know that's not the way they were done originally they were painted, but I like shiny things. My question is has anyone ever powder coated their crank cases, I have a guy who has done all of my powder coating for years and he is very good. I am wary about getting the crankcases done and also I would need to match the colour when I was painting the top end of the engine, I would be grateful for some input.

I was looking for the damper rubbers for my primary drive, they are down on the parts list as 2314-323-000 when checking DS he has none listed against the 400f but has them for a 550 with the same part number, is this correct or where is the best place to get them from.

I have started putting my 400 four back together, when I got it it had a Motad system and I want the look of the original with the 4 sweeping pipes, I was going to buy the complete system from David Silver which works out about £625, has anyone fitted one of these and how do they look compared to a NOS system , how good is the chrome and are there any noticeable differences.

On rebuilding my back wheel I was fitting the new rear sprocket, according to the Haynes manual there are 2 double tab washers holding the 4 sprocket nuts. The Honda parts book does not show these, and I cant find them anywhere, I was going to fit 4 nylocs but would far prefer locking tabs, does anyone know what ones are the same and where to get them.

It soon mounts up. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ] [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

, I am looking for stainless steel rims and spokes to relace my wheels, I got my spokes for my GT750 from Central wheels in the past no problems, I phoned up today to order wheel rims and spokes and some advice and got a girl on the other end of the phone who was the most unhelpful person in the Universe she wasn't willing to deal with me unless I supplied all of the details about rim sizes, spokes hubs, I said I thought you were the wheel experts and would be able to supply all of the parts for a standard 1976 Honda 400 four, needless to say I am now wanting to take my business elsewhere. I have had a look and a company Devon wheels comes recommended but their polished rim is quite expensive at £145 they do a standard stainless rim at £75 has anyone used them for wheels or could they recommend anyone else. Finally would I better be biting the bullet and buying from Central.

I have got a new set of barrels that need rebored, I have ordered .5 oversize pistons, today I went to see a local machine shop and he quoted me £50 per bore for rebore and honing is this the normal price that I should expect to pay for this job.

Hello I have joined your forum as I have a cb400f that I am going to restore over the winter, I have done a bike every year or the past 4 years and my 2 favourites which I have kept are my Kawasaki H1B and my Suzuki Gt750A. I had a 4/4 when I was 17 back in 1982 but sold it to get a Z650 as in those days speed and having the biggest bike was most important. I at the moment also have a Triumph Rocket 3 which I have had for 4 years though I am probably more suited for the Honda at 5 foot 6. I live in Glasgow so many good roads just outside the cityI look forward to getting involved in the forum as I have been an active member on several bike forums over the years.
