I see we have someone flogging these on ebay - anyone tried them or make any comments?
-
Do you have a link or item number?

Not a very good seller. 3 items in 2 years. He will be a millionaire by the end of the year ;D ;D ;D
-
Possibly a forum member 🤔🤔🤔. Good luck to the seller though, there is a sizeable UK market for them.

Thats me, i made these a few months ago, and I've been testing them out for the past couple of months to make sure im happy with them. Trigger ive got another account but ive just started using this account for stuff ill need to pay tax on to make my accounting a bit easier

You say in the listing that the 400 has 2 types. I have only found one type in a 400 and in your picture "B" is the 500/550 type ;)
-
Thats interesting, both baskets came from 400 engines, and oddjob posted a pic of a 550 one and it was completely different to both. Do you have any pictures of 500 ones? Also do the 500 baskets fit the 400?
-
I have had a few 500 baskets done in germany and the shape is the same >>> https://www.fourever-classic-parts.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26&Itemid=31
-
If those ones in the link are 500 ones, they are the same as oddjobs 550 ones, but aren't the same as the one on my ebay photo
-
Your ad says there are two types of 400 cush rubbers, there is only one type, which I'm very familiar with. The 400 cush rubbers will not fit the 500 or 550 and vice versa as they are different clutch baskets. If I remember correctly, the 500 and 550 rubbers are the same, even though the baskets are different.
-
Well both those rubbers came from baskets from running 400 engines, and they aren't 500 or 550 ones

OK, so one of the 400 baskets had the wrong cush rubbers fitted, there is definitely only one type for a 400.
-
The rest of the basket is completely identical, but the aluminium posts are a different dimension and the holes in the gear are smaller, and it was still factory rivetted. If the 400 rubbers fitted it wouldn't be a problem.
-
Could it have been a 350 clutch basket?

Yes, it may well of been, but I wouldn't know personally as I've never taken a 350 one apart. Here's some photos of the 400 rubbers, taken by a friend of mine, when he took his apart.

Now that's confusing you've posted ones that are the same as type B on my ebay listing, which trigger says aren't 400 ones but are 500/550 ones
-
Ive only taken apart 4 400 baskets and 3 were type A and 1 was type B
-
It can get even more confusing 😂😂😂😂
Here's a link to Kevin (TTR400) post on him making and trialing cush rubbers and another forum member making some.

So it looks like there are 2 types, I recon type B is a later design and probably better because theres more material on the side under load when used

I'm wondering if the very early 400's used 500 or 550 rubbers 🤔🤔🤔. The problem is none of us want to take our clutch baskets apart to test the theory 😂😂😂
Edit.... Or did the early 400's use the 350 clutch basket?
-
The post shape on the 500/550 clutch basket is completely different to the 400 shape. Non Transferable in my opinion.

Interesting discussion as, Honda never made the clutch baskets and this was farmed out to many different suppliers. I am wondering if the rubbers and baskets were designed by the suppliers.
Though the CB750 sohc's have no rubbers in the baskets but, all have the same clutch cog and different baskets.
Some later honda's share the same baskets but, once taken apart you will find that they are different inside. I think the early CBR900r's had 6 different shaped rubbers in just 1995 which, would suggest that those basket came from 6 different suppliers ;)

Any discount for us poor forum members? ;) ;)
-
I will need a set for a 400/4, how much will they be?
-
Has there any more information on the Clutch Basket Cushions. I have 2 Spare baskets and both of them have the Cushions that are mainly symmetrical. Any help on locating a set of these would be appreciated.
-
I'm in contact with Max who makes them, he's done me some stainless steel carb linkage rods for the 500/550F carbs, I asked him the other day what the news is on the clutch rubbers but as yet he hasn't replied. When he does I'll let you know.
-
I think this is Max, location matches. Identify which shape of rubber you need, he even sells the backplate in the first 2 links.
