Looking really good and I agree those pipes look good.

Would love a bike lift like that, maybe next year...

Spot on Ted.  The rear indicators are earthed via a cable connector onto the tang welded onto the indicator mountings.

My rear tangs were rotted out, a PO had drilled a hole in the mounting bracket with a screw fitted to one, hence I fitted seperate earths.

Well done Ted  :). Crack open the bubbly whilst you trawl Ebay for that CB750 Project you've always promised yourself (or a Maico  ;))
Happiness is turning on the fuel and the carbs don't flood  :).

If memory serves me correctly the front indicators are earthed via the main mounting stem that is metal.
Inside the headlamp on each side is an earthing plate that is connected into the wiring loom earths.

I fitted the chromed plastic ones fitting my own earth wire to the bulb holder threading down the hollow centre.

If you look in the parts book (downoadable here) it is shown in detail. Personally I like fitting an additional earth wire to all four indicators.

CB350/400 / Wiring

Hi all,
I'm restoring a 1978 CB400 4F and I'm onto the wiring. The previous owner botched up the wires by using any colour, I have put it back to original colours as per manual. My question is I can see how the rear indicators are earthed but can't see how the front is earthed? Manual shows Light blue / green on right hand side and orange and green on left hand side, I only have one wire coming from each indicator?

Does anyone who owns same model live near Southport, Merseyside so I could have a look?

Thanks in advance ☺️

That's a nice looking 400 you have rebuilt Dave,  you must be well pleased with how it's looking so far.
Love the flow of the original front pipes.

First start up can't be too far away!
