And failing miserably.its a handy shop to pick up parts, before a new owner steps into the driving seat, ps, shop isn't failing, owner just wishes to retireSome people disagree but i have always had good service from him, buy the kit with the seal and clean the seal groove out meticulously If anyone has ever had them do any restoration work within the past 3years or so, it would be interesting to hear about their experiences. They do claim to be a restoration specialist after all. A full report on the condition of my bike on return, was provided by the skilled engineer who sorted it out properly, and is available to view. I believe honda classics no longer accept restoration work, due to the impending sale. I wish any new owner the best of luck. 3

I've just had my 400 4 returned to me after nearly 3years of refurbishment,(2 years wasted). butchered boyer system ditched and it's back to the original points system. It will be spring before I get to test it properly though. Waited this long so another couple of months won't hurt.

I've just found the old /original speedo from my 400 four in a box of bits, no inner KPH markings. It's a 1977 reg bike.

True story of the standard of work that has been done by a so called restoration specialist,, ps, just been informed that the offer to pay for any substandard work found has been removed, seems I'm making a mountain out of a molehill. And his lawyer is looking into my claims, hopefully his lawyer is checking Instagram and the mess that's needing sorted.

More evidence that the rebuilt carbs pics are fake, the truth comes out under close inspection.

CB350/400 / Re: Some assistance re venders...« on: September 12, 2023, 07:42:13 PM »Did you have an inline filter fitted to your carbs before it went in as those have one fitted. If you didn't where have those carbs come from?no there was no inline filter on mine. I had a mate check out the pics and he done a search,, they are fake. I know Roger is getting to hear about these claims, from a member here, that's not a problem, I saw his reply to my review of his company.,it's well seeing he is a marketing guy, he spins a good story. But it's only 144 miles from Leyland to Daventry, so we will see how he responds in person when I pay my next visit. I hope he hasn't sold the company by then of course, since it's a wonderful op for some unsuspecting buyer.. The guys a cheat, and I don't appreciate being conned. 15

Pic of the bike before it went to Daventry, my ocd would never, ever allow my carbs to get in that state, plus the after pics are definitely not on my bike, the fuel lines are cheap thin plastic, absolute junk If anyone has a number four carb for sale, , you can see the how things progress on Instagram.
