Ah, seems I need to get my friendly recitfier to rectify this for my rectifier!

So the obvious next question... anyone got a picture of what the rectifier bracket looks like so that I can create one, please?

Thank you again, experts out there!

Hi experts,

Another question from Mr. Amateur coming at ya...

Can anyone tell (show) me what this apparently missing part of my frame is for (CB400-4 1976), please?

Thank you,

Drew

As promised, here is a (typical) photo of one of 8 shells. What do you think?

Cheers,

Thanks all so far.

I'll sort some pictures ASAP (will be a few days). In the meantime, you have given me plenty of quality food for thought already!

Cheers, D.

CB350/400 / CB400/4 crankshaft bearings - refit or replace?
« on: April 29, 2014, 03:15:37 PM »
Hi all, my latest seeking of advice...

I have split the crankcase only for cleaning, it was running fine until then. All the innards are in tact and will be replaced (i.e. not taken sprockets off shafts, etc.). The crankshaft bearing shells all look fine to me and have been carefully labelled for refitting. Some people have said they will be fine to go back and others (like my Haynes manual) suggest they should be replaced. Maybe this is dependent upon the bike's post-rebuild life plan... it will be retired into occasional good weather use only; the bugger's had a hard life to date, or so it would seem, and now deserves a warm pasture!

Any conclusive thoughts from experts out there?

Thank you as usual.

D.

Hi Ken, I've sent you another message about a missing digit (?) in the number you supplied. Ta, D.

When I send PMs, the screen goes blank and so I can't tell if it's been sent.

Ken, give me a shout if you haven't seen my message sent at 18:00 on 11/4/14.

Cheers,

A.

p.s. Does anyone else have the 'blank screen' problem when uploading messages or posts?

Here here from N. Somerset.

I'm now pouring cash into a (slightly sickly) runner that will soon (?) look and sing like a new bike!

Be happy to help with recent learning if of any use to you when you get going... as I have found with many other members of this super forum.

Cheers, D.

Thanks Ken and yes please!

I tried to PM you in case you want to talk cost, but I don't think it worked. Perhaps you'd be kind enough to PM me instead.

Ta, D.

Thanks Ken,

What do you mean by the whole lump, please?

Apparently, the correct term for my damaged bit is the 'starter clutch outer'.

Sometimes, having a 'money pit' is simply an investment in learning!

Cheers,

D.

Thank you Trigger,  I have now done so with fingers crossed. Cheers, D.

Hello all,

Mine seems to have an unsightly hole in it. So here's a request on the off-chance that someone out there has a spare lying around that they'd be happy to accept a few quid for... fingers crossed!

Ta, D.
