Has anyone got original decent condition 1 and 3 down pipes for a 400/4 they feel they can part with?

Hi All,
I have sprayed my calipers with PJ1 Satin Black. They have come out as matt as can be, look great but not the satin finish I was after. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Does anyone recognise this spring washer?
[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
When I stripped the bike it came from here:

However the parts manual doesn't show this but has the rubber washer:

The thing is, I recognise the washer in the back of my mind from years ago as if it is from the 400. But the parts manual says not. Any ideas / help appreciated.

Yesterday when I went to use my ultrasonic bath I found a washer in the bottom. Having given it some thought I think it belongs to the oil pump. The thing is I don't remember seeing it when I cleaned the pump. So pump is back off the bike and I think I can see where it should go, position A in the picture, but could be position B. Or I suppose it could be neither. I would appreciate it if someone could confirm either way. TIA.

My parts manual lists two different numbers for each of the contact breakers.
No 1 & 4 has parts 30203-300-154 and 30204-333-004.
No 2 & 3 has parts 30204-300-154 and 30203-333-004.
What I'd like to know is if there is any real difference and does it matter which I buy?
TIA

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the divots are for in two of the carburettor insulators?

Hi, can anyone advise on the following before I break something.
Would like to get the butterfly shaft out so I can overhaul all the parts. The shaft rotates freely but has little lateral movement. I am assuming that it is held in by a pin (see pic).
Is this something I have to drill out to remove the shaft? Any advise appreciated.

Hi All,
Trying to find a grease gun that will fit the 400 swing arm nipple. Can anyone let me where I can get one from? Thanks.

I'm looking for some advice on my speedo drive. I would like to strip and clean up. Has anyone got any tips on getting it apart? Little screw comes out easily enough but where do I go from there without butchering it?
By little screw I don't mean the one in the picture, it's a very small one out of view.

Hi,
The swing arm collar seems 'loose' in the bushes. Not sure whether it's worn over the years.
Does anyone know the spec / tolerances for the collar?

Having spoken to the local chromer, who said that it would cost about the same to re-chrome my parts as it would to buy new (outside my budget), I decided to have a go at cleaning up the parts myself.
This is what I started with:

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
This is how they’ve cleaned up so far. Haven’t polished them yet.

The question I’ve got is what do I do about the ends?

Do I knock off the rest of the loose(ish) stuff? Use Rust Converter? Build up with metal filler? Or should I just clean up and use as is? Any tips would be helpful.
Also is it possible to shine up dull chrome? If so what’s the best thing to use?

Has anyone managed to source and replace the ball joints on the 400 gear change lever?
