Hi Chaps

Has anyone who has fitted sintered front pads noticed much difference? Have overhauled the front calliper which really needed doing so I'm sure the breaking will feel a bit better anyway but not sure if I should fit standard pads or sintered.

Maybe we could all buy a nut and bolt each as an investment !!!. I'm sure if I hang on to my 400 for long enough it will be worth a million, at least  ;D ;D ;D

According to Google it's an Ignition Coil Cable protector which you probably already know, so I may have been no help to you at all Trigg  :-* :-*

Don't let me put you off Hairy, it's a shame it didn't go well for you but sometimes, like everything in life, it just don't work out well all the time. Better luck next time an fingers crossed.

Nothing specific for strange threads Drew, like most carpenters, mechanics, bodgers etc we just make a bigger hole with a tap and die  and put a bigger screw or bolt in it to hold it together and if in doubt put a bit of bone cement in it. I have a couple of dodgy bolts on my 400 where the heads have sheared off so I'm sure i will end up with threads not known to the engineering world !!!

Boring........never heard such C..P. I havn't got a clue what your talking about most of the time (that's my lack of knowledge not your subject matters!!). I have learnt a lot from you in a very short time and thanks for all your advice.

Me and my Endoscopes have been in some very dark, tight places over the years but I have never thought about inspecting the internals of an engine with it !!! What an excellent idea. The other day when I wanted to get the swing arm bushes out after I had cut them with the hacksaw blade, I used an instrument called an Osteotome, used regularly in Orthopaedic surgery, fitted perfectly down the side of the bush to help remove it. All basic woodwork instruments really but perfect on bikes too. (These were old knackered osteotomes I hasten to add, didn't take them from the kit in the Operating theatre  ;) ;)

Well done that girl, I would probably have given him a slap as well  ::). Personally I can't understand why men make assumptions, makes them look really silly.

Back to bikes. Soaked swing arm bushes in oil overnight as suggested by Hairygit, just fitted them, lovely, all nice and shiney and new. There was a little bit of wear on the old ones but I don't know enough to say if it would be considered normal or not, anyway, I'm pleased I changed them  :-* :-*

Going on DS's Facebook to appeal for  more 'gals to join us on here. One of his staff Jacqui  .. nice lady just awarded me a free 400/4 teashirt !  ... is a biker and there are quite a few others, so fingers crossed.

Cheers ... Ash

That sounds good Ash, hopefully enough ladies will join the forum that we can gang up on you gents and keep you on the straight and narrow.  ;D ;D ;D

All I mentioned was a bit of rubber tube and  a good potential source for it for  Gawds sake!  When I was a kid and the local chemists twigged that the Potassium Nitrate I used to buy from them was not 'For my dad's garden, miss', a friendly nurse stepped in and got me Potassium Permanganate instead, as the hospital used it for treating old bod's feet or something. The 'flowers of sulphur' and charcoal were readily available, so no worries there. Problem was that the Pot. Permanganate made an unholy purple mess everywhere so I was quickly banned from using that too  ::)

I bet Julie had dealt with much worse banter than she gets on here. We all get a bit of banter chucked at us on here male or femail. Some bug*er on here even accused poor old Ashimoto of being a mad scientist type  :(    ..... Must dash there's thunder and lightening predicted and I have a tall fella in my gararge who needs a fix and I could do with the bolts back I used in his neck, cos I need em to hold on my HM300's 

That's another great point about the 400/4, it was ideally suited to girls as well as boys. There are quite a few females with 400/s who post on DS's FB site. why did Honda have to replace it with the ugly piece of crap the 400T?

Yes Ash, the banter on here is lightweight up against what I have had to deal with face to face over the years as a Nurse. I also have very close connections with the Motor Trade and over the past 30 odd years have had to deal with Men on a very regular basis, take it from me absolutly nothing can shock or upset me and if anything I am usually the instigator !!!.  :-* :-*

No I have not, seen, been and wear the t shirt but as you seem to be the only lady on here do not like to see you being ribbed to much its bad enough for us blokes ;) ;)
Cheers

ood fun

Thanks for your concern Bitsa. I can put up with anything directed my way and I can give as good as I get. It's all in good humour I'm sure and that's the way I take it.
Kind regards

Thought the original bushes were plastic.
You probably have the HONDA shop manual already  Julie .... but just in case or for others I bunged in into Dropbox here below:-
Got my knuckles wrapped last night by Bitsa for mentioning rubber tubes again .. so sorry for that  :-[

Cheers .. AshD
Yes Ash, I did see the rubber tube banter  ;D. I was showing it to some of my staff at work last night, they understand fully mens fetishes about rubber, it's no different to us girls having fetishes about Firemen or farmers in wellie boots, it's the rubber that does it for us too  :-* :-* (I think Bitsa has led a sheltered life !!!)
