750 has bigger discs, if you want to use the 500 size get the 550 lowers but all will fit on the legs.

Original relay was 3 pin but the Yanks use a 2 pin and yes all bulbs have to be correct size, working and eathed properly---usualy needs the engine running to charge battery to get a regular flash rate as well

+1 on the set as you will need new "pucks" and "O" rings

Just make sure all is spotlessly clean on reassembly with new gaskets and "O" rings.
Always worth checking how hard the camchain tensioner rollers are as well

ALWAYS fit a new tacho drive seal as its easier with the cover out

Where's My Old Bike? / Re: CB400/4 NFA960P

Nah Mate that just means it hasnt been taxed since 82, and as that was BEFORE SORN came in you dont have to declare it "Off Road." That will only happen if it is re built and licenced then goes out of date.

I still have vehicles with the old style books from before computerisation and they are still valid if you rebuild them and MOT etc. Swansea NEVER re-issue an old number if it has ever been used

There are two ways to re-use yours.
(1) use the NGK screw in straight connector after cutting the leads short. This works but not if its 'issing down!
(2) cut away the coil surround at the ht lead and re-solder new ones in then repair case with epoxy.

You can fit the DOHC coils that have replaceable leads BUT these are a lower Ohm rating for the electronic ignition and as such draw more current so that your charging circuit needs to be top notch plus you need to keep the motor over 3,000 rpm to charge

Having done a small amount of resurch for you i have discovered the following

The front sprocket retaining plate is the same as 450 twin, 500/550 four and early 750 four so a sprocket for those will fit CAREFULL as these use 530 chain.

The rear sprocket carrier is the same as the 750 K7/8 These used a 630 chain but i know sprockets are made for 530.

You can therefore get sprockets that will fit but probably not in 15/42 teeth ratio and in 530 not 630 chain. If you use a high strength "O" ring chain this should not be a problem

Caliper and bracket are 750, gap is way too big i suspect a 500 disc, or more likely a complete front wheel due to accident. what are the markings on the rim and check against a known 750 one as the 500 is narrower
