Honda-SOHC

Evenin all,

I didn't have one on mine when it came to me in a sorry state so dont know the actual dims but can anyone confirm the ID of the fuel line for the 400/4/ I have 4.5mm in my head but cant remember where from.

fanks

Evening all,

Anybody knpow of anyone/business except infinity exhausts in Bristol or the surrounding areas that might be able to make me a connecting tube to go from the 400/4 collector to the silencer please.  I've emailed folk to death and rang them but nobody seems to be able to follow up on an offer. Its only 6" long and I've all the orientations and measurements sorted just need somebody with a) the time and b) the kit to do it. I cant get it done here as I cant get the parts to make it or i would. Any help gratefully received.

Evening all,

As the previous owner has hacked off pretty much anything of use I have the envious task of trying to revert the frame to accepting standard foot pegs and brake levers etc etc.
Would anybody be able to send me some shots and 'dims' of where the tube needs to be welded to take the brake rod arm (the one that attaches to the pedal via the splines?)

He's hacked it off along with all the associated hanging points for the rear brake switch and wires so Im on this completely blind and the Fiche doesn't show much of any use via CMSNL.

Could I be dead cheeky and ask for diameter  of the tube, thickness of material and some reference points with which to start?

I'm not in a huge rush as still collecting parts for the build, (massive thanks to eight0 ,(Adam) who sent some goodies this morning),
I've managed to get the f/rests and brackets, headlight, torq arm, stopper rod, spring and all the associated 'gubbins' for the rear set up so just planning what I need to get to put it all as it should be again.

The front end is sorted with all the extra bits needed to do a twin disc set up, haven't looked at internals yet its purely a plan for things I can see that need sorting as it's still tucked away in the shed and I can only see the O/S. I'll look at the motor once shes out but I'm on for a full 'case refresh' and bearing replacement, if thats whats required.

I'm waiting on an air box to come from the states for the 400 and I need to find of someone who can make me a connecting tube for the exhaust and then, apart from a few bits and bobs, shes done so I'm trying to get ahead of the game ready for the dark evenings.


It's a weird thing but when I buy a new bike or project, I'm always really looking froward to a new load of information, which generally starts with a new (to me) Haynes Liar. Because the 400 on is the same as the 550, I kinda feel cheated for some reason.
 
When I finished the Ducati and got the 400 I was really chuffed with my new 400/4 book, weird I know, might be a hoarders thing having heaps of them on the shelf in the workshop or something? 
I hope its not a subconscious obsession to collect the whole set, I simply dont have the money for all those projects!!!!


Apologies for the epic!

Cheers
 

Hi all, quick question, went to test the starter motor before refit and nothing and after disassembly I find this situation in the body behind the battery terminal on the housing. Are these two supposed to be together and attached to the back of the thread held in my left hand?

Not been into one of these before and a little unsure. I’ve ‘soldering fettling’ tackle so not phased just not sure on proper assembly, any advice would be more than appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Evening all,
I'm really struggling to find a pair of the headlight brackets for a CB550 build I'm on with, does anybody have any at all, don't care how knackered just not dented, Im trying to make em fit something else and they'll end up painted or coated so finish isn't an issue just no twists or dents.


Like the ones that i cant afford from DS or CMSNL
