CB350/400 / Rear shock lower mounts

« on: September 17, 2018, 09:09:50 AM »

I've come to refit my shocks on the bike and noticed non-standard bolts. I checked on cmsnl diagrams. I was looking to see how many, and what washers are used - whether they are big enough to cover the entire bushes, or just the centre.

I noticed there are two different types of lower shock mount. I've currently got 'eyelet' shocks and the bolt would go through two bushes side by side. When I get replacements, I'll go for the other type (clevis?) and remove the need for a pair of bushes (and the associated slop I guess!)

Could someone let me know what washers should be fitted to the eyelet style shocks please?

CB350/400 / OE Handlebars?

« on: August 22, 2018, 10:35:54 AM »

Removed all the switchgear last evening and realised the handlebars aren't OE, there are no holes for the cables. Now, I'm not really worried about this from an originality perspective, but I'm curious about the measurements. Could someone with OE bars measure them for me? Width, height and degrees of the bend would be ace, but whatever you can muster?

Project Board / 1975 400/4 project

« on: August 16, 2018, 08:26:15 AM »

Hi all. I think I've gone a bit mad and bought a project. No idea how much this is going to cost, or how long it's going to take. But I'm not worried, I'll plod on and it'll be done when it is.

I've decided the first step is to sit and look at it a lot. Then make some lists of stuff that looks like it works, and stuff that needs doing. I imagine I'll be stripping it and getting the frame done before any serious other work, but who knows!

Any advice welcome!

Shameful pic first.
