CB350/400 / Latest Mini Project
« on: August 30, 2010, 04:35:29 PM »
Hi To All,
Here are some pictures of a gear leaver and linkage that I have just finished.
I stripped all the old chrome off by dipping in Hydrochloric Acid (brick cleaner) and then used various scotch & abrasive dollies on a hand drill to polish up the stripped metal. I am pleased with the lever part as there were some deep marks that were got rid of !!

I then re Zinced the prepared parts, followed by another light polish and then fitted new rubber. I think that the lever has come up rather well  :D, I know that the zinc won't be as hard wearing as chrome but re chroming is getting expensive and I can always Re Zinc when it wears through.

Hi Folks,

Interesting reading on the recon of a 400/4 front brake. I did mine, followed both of the manuals, advice from sites like this, used all the right components mostly new or cleaned like a new pin, Used the right grease in the right places................. Brake works a treat, BUT........ it squeels like a good en when applied, something it never did before......... any ideas please ???

Manufacturers, Don't you just Love em, The bring out these droolworthy motorcycles that look cool and are just that little bit different and then never release them  :-[ :-[ :-[. I realise that some of these pictures are doctored but still mighty tastey motorcycles.

If it were YOUR money which would you buy ?. I would go for the CBR Honda.

Is it me or does the seat on the Suzuki in pic 4 look like a duck's bill ???;D
