Got the pistons ready for fitting ( ring gaps checked, pistons cleaned ) and noticed I had not marked them front and back.
Do the pistons have a front and back ? or does it not matter.
Anybody know ?

I stock the Genuine Honda oil pressure switch, it's £29.99 - 10% discount + whatever the post cost to you, which isn't much.

Hey everyone! I finally got to it.

I simply had the bike idle while the left cover plate was off to see where it was leaking from.
Surprise surprise it was the oil pressure switch again, from the switch to pump body thread AND from the eyelet screw thread on the switch itself,.
Guess I'm up for another switch, although I am not sure about which one to pick anymore.
I chose a new switch that is made today for several japanese/ asian automotive manufacturers. Honda lists it as the replacement reference for the original that was used in their 70's UJMs.
Those new switches are around 4 euros a piece, so it felt like a no brainer compared to the 40 - 70 euros originals on Ebay.
Now with the performance from the one  bought, I'm having second thought. Because the cherry on top of the crap cake is that the oil light came on like a minute or 2 after the bike was turned off.
Doesnt look like a quick switch to me, unless the oil does stay pressured well after the pump stop turning (???)

Looking forward to hearing from you all. I hope you guys get good weather!

P.S. : I found out that a motorcycle that won't turn over could be in need for petrol. Whou would've thought? I was already considering taking off my carbs for a clean  ;D ;D

Of course you could use Piki's (Diego  ... AKA Redice sponsor on this forum!) decals instead

He does a good discount for members and his decals are spot on.

I know painting is more authentic but decals done correctly probably look a lot better than painted on gone slightly wrong.

Maybe somebody has used them ? After all, everyone uses decals on the 400F2 tanks that I know of.

That's only the stripes though but my experience is painting the black on isn't too difficult. You can get jet black base-coat from paint suppliers (like BMW use on cars). The base-coat dries matt/satin but as soon as you hit it with decent 2k clear it shines beautifully.

Will get some of this. Bought a can of 1k lacquer to experiment with. Trying to find how much of the black finish is down to the basecoat or the lacquer finish.
Looking at the black on one of Menno's tanks, I can't hope to replicate that!
