I got the bushes for my 400 from Frank about 4 weeks ago. Fitted them the other day, seem to be a good fit and the delivery was super fast

So it's a toss up between slightly better braking and slightly more wear on the disc. Maybe I should just go for 'normal' and see if they feel any better now the caliper has been services. Thanks for your advise.

Welcome Chris. We must be of a similar vintage !!!. I did have a 400/4 in the late 70's and then went through god knows how many different bikes over the past 35 years. Now back down to a 400 again, they say what goes around comes around. The chaps on here are great, really helpful (although a bit PMT / male menopausal at times  ) and their knowledge on these old Honda's is fantastic. Great to see another 400 owner on here. Regards Julie PS.....Keep your eyes off my crash bars

Hi Chaps
Has anyone who has fitted sintered front pads noticed much difference? Have overhauled the front calliper which really needed doing so I'm sure the breaking will feel a bit better anyway but not sure if I should fit standard pads or sintered.

According to Google it's an Ignition Coil Cable protector which you probably already know, so I may have been no help to you at all Trigg

I spoke to ash today, and him and bitsa are all good, "kissed and made up" in his own words both just needed a cooling off
great news as both of them play a big role in this forum, so both will be back in new year

its the history,and tall tales ,(can't spell aneckdotes !! )
Well, I've only got a 400 (and they say size doesn't matter !!!! ) and I really miss the old Gits already  , lets hope they both return in 2015 with lots of interesting info and good humour

Don't let me put you off Hairy, it's a shame it didn't go well for you but sometimes, like everything in life, it just don't work out well all the time. Better luck next time an fingers crossed.

Nothing specific for strange threads Drew, like most carpenters, mechanics, bodgers etc we just make a bigger hole with a tap and die and put a bigger screw or bolt in it to hold it together and if in doubt put a bit of bone cement in it. I have a couple of dodgy bolts on my 400 where the heads have sheared off so I'm sure i will end up with threads not known to the engineering world !!!

Boring........never heard such C..P. I havn't got a clue what your talking about most of the time (that's my lack of knowledge not your subject matters!!). I have learnt a lot from you in a very short time and thanks for all your advice.

Me and my Endoscopes have been in some very dark, tight places over the years but I have never thought about inspecting the internals of an engine with it !!! What an excellent idea. The other day when I wanted to get the swing arm bushes out after I had cut them with the hacksaw blade, I used an instrument called an Osteotome, used regularly in Orthopaedic surgery, fitted perfectly down the side of the bush to help remove it. All basic woodwork instruments really but perfect on bikes too. (These were old knackered osteotomes I hasten to add, didn't take them from the kit in the Operating theatre

Well done that girl, I would probably have given him a slap as well  . Personally I can't understand why men make assumptions, makes them look really silly. Back to bikes. Soaked swing arm bushes in oil overnight as suggested by Hairygit, just fitted them, lovely, all nice and shiney and new. There was a little bit of wear on the old ones but I don't know enough to say if it would be considered normal or not, anyway, I'm pleased I changed them
