CB350/400 / Re: 1975 CB400F Rear Tank Rubber« on: March 22, 2024, 07:04:01 PM »
They're all like that unfortunately. When I bought my bike the original rubber was quite hard and had been damaged by previous owners trying to get the rubber on and off.
I bought a new one, but still really tough to stretch it over the tank tab. The tab could be a lot shorter, I guess Honda over-engineered the fixing to make absolutely sure it never came off by accident. I use a spring puller to get mine off or the zip tie method works well. 48

Arcing at the points usually means a faulty condenser. The new pattern ones don't last long at all.

If there is a crack I would be worried about water getting in. Rain or when washing the bike. Not good inside your engine. 😖

The kids know it as 'the fish and chips rack' for its usual load! Exactly! I've kept mine on my Tiger 100, very useful, a forerunner of tankbags. 👍 52

I had a good nosey at the 400 bikes on Sunday. They do look good build quality and look bigger than a 400 single. 👍

Some photos from Scottish Bike Show yesterday. Appearances from Carl Fogarty, John McGuiness, Glenn Irwin, Ruben Xaus and John Mcphee.
Harris framed RC30, not one but 3 Hurricanes! One was BSA A75. 58

Look in Aladdin's Cave at top of page. Honda model ID List
CL350 on 'page 22' Looks like K2 but should be 7 numbers, not 6. 59

Saw an interesting idea in classic mechanics mag this month - a one foot by 1 inch magnetic strip handily placed for dropping on bolts / tools etc while working. Saves scrabbling for bolts on the floor when you container gets knocked over..DAMHIK😉 Magnetic tray. Best invention ever. 👍 |
