CB350/400 / Fitting swinging arm bushes

Hi All

I've just received some swinging arm bushes from "Frank" - are there any techniques/tricks required to fit these?

Thanks

Steve

Thanks Nurse Julie

Can I ask if you use Genuine/OEM/Aftermarket rims?  There is quite a price difference between the options!!

Yours Confused Steve!!

CB350/400 / Wheel rims & spokes?

Hi

I'm needing to buy front and rear wheel rims (and spokes) for my CB400 - I see that they are available from David Silver, but wondering if there are any other suppliers that you would recommend.

Many thanks

Steve

CB350/400 / Tacho restoration
« on: May 12, 2018, 01:23:55 PM »
Hi All

I'm in the process of restoring the tacho on my 400 - I've managed to undo the crimped ring, but am struggling to dismantle it further due to the trip reset knob preventing me from removing the mechanism.  Is there a trick/technique to remove this?

Thanks Steve

Thanks Gents

It is indeed a brand new endless chain (I did look for a spring link), and set of sprockets as fitted by the previous owner  - he did sufficient to get an MOT, but then didn't have time to carry out the restoration.  I have a new chain and sprockets on one side and a new exhaust on the other with an old bike in the middle!!

Thanks for the advice and the 2 options

Cheers Steve

Hi

The dismantling of my 400 is going well (so far!!) - I now need to remove the chain and need a chain splitter/riveter.  Can anyone recommend me a good one - there seems to be a big difference in cost between different makes.  Do you get what you pay for?  My every day bike has a shaft drive so chains, and especially the tools are a bit of a dark art to me!!  :-\

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for all replies - and advice.  Much appreciated.

Plan is to slowly restore, which will mean that it's off the road whilst parts (frame?) are being painted, rechromed (shiny bits) and polished (engine casings).  But once complete will ride, and I'm sure enjoy  :) :)

One thing that I realise I need ASAP are instructions for disassemble/rebuild, gaps, torque settings etc.  Do most people have Haynes Manuals/Honda service manuals, and if so where can I find these (Ebay?), or are there online sources of this information

Hi There

I'm in South Somerset, and have just bought a Honda 400 4 (photos hopefully attached)

It's a runner, with an MOT and so hopefully just needs a very thorough "fettling" - although I suspect I'll find other things that need doing as I progress.

I used to do some basic mechanics MANY years ago, and so I suspect I will be frequently posting "how to you do….." questions!!!

Before I start are there any "man traps" I need to be aware of when working on the bike?  All advice very gratefully received

Cheers Steve
