MM,
I'm going away for a couple of days but if you PM me your address etc, I'll post it off to you when I can, probably early next week. Its a freebie, just pay the postage and maybe a small donation to the site ?
Cheers
Steve

I've just got my engine back together and running and I had the same problem. I too was a first time builder. Turning the engine a little while trying to engage the gear helped but I still had reservations, however it all seems OK now. Although I haven't been out on it I can select and get drive through all gears and I've ridden it up and down the driveway a couple of times so I think its OK. I agree with previous post that its difficult to say but I'm sure if you've taken your time and followed the manual it will be fine. The gears can be difficult to select anyway so my advice is carry on and have faith !!!
Regards
Steve

I think the rim tape is only there to prevent spokes puncturing the inner tube, in your case its not needed

As above wanted please for CB400F. Must have all three lugs intact and be good condition. I have a tatty one already with broken lugs, looking for something better.
Thanks

Thanks Oddjob, I'm pretty sure what I need now, I'll wait to see what the supplier comes back with then I'm hoping someone can make up or supply a hose with an elbow to take it towards the forks and away from the whell

The bike is not ready for the road yet and still very much a work in progress so the mudguard has not been fitted yet. In the picture I have used a tie wrap on the fork leg just to keep the hose away from the wheel temporarily. Even with the mudguard fitted the angle from the caliper wouldn't change. Its clear from the Spitfire picture that the hose is angled backwards immediately from the caliper towards the forks rather than my setup which sends it towards the wheel, this is what I'll be hoping to do. Maybe the second picture shows it better.

Yes, that looks a little more elegant with an angled fitting. Did the HEL kit come with everything needed as in your picture ?
I've dropped the seller an email complete with photo of fitting. I've nothing to lose so lets see what response I get. I bought the kit way back in Jan but I've only just fitted it so here's hoping I get a favourable response. I'd be happy to use the standard pipe if he supplies the shortened hose.
Thanks

Yeah, I was hoping that the standard kit would just be bolt on, otherwise what's the point of advertising that it fits 400/4 ? If I'm going to use the standard pipe then obviously the goodridge hose will need shortening, which realistically is not really a DIY job I don't think, so it looks like money wasted to me  Steve

Hi,
I've just fitted a goodridge hose kit and connected to the front caliper, the kit contains parts to fit the hose direct into the caliper without the standard fixed brake line. Has anyone else done this? The angle from the caliper sends the hose almost directly into the front wheel and just can't be right. Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
The one on fourbits is a repro too, I'll drop him an email
