Thats the same as the 400 four in the Glasgow Transport museum, its been there for years but unfortunately the silencer is rotting and they put all the bikes on a stupid wall when they moved to the new (Smaller ) building a few years ago.
Totally a different 400, the one at Slivers is a USA unit 
I didnt mean it was the same model of bike I meant it had a duff silencer with sitting about Ive never really taken that much notice of the differences from different countries, I thought they were all Japanese.

To be honest it more hassle than its worth but Im one of these people that when I get a bee in my bonnet to try something I cant let it go, I have a garage full of equipment and tools that I have just used once to fix something that I could have easily replaced for a fraction of the price, its my naturally inquisitive engineering twisted mind.

Hi Ogri,
Did you put together your own zinc plating kit or did you buy as a kit?
John
I bought one of these kits you get but I also bought a vairaible power supply the type an electronics person would use and I put in a fish tank heater to keep the electrolyte at the correct temperature and a fish tank pump to agitate the liquid It takes a bit of experimenting with the current and voltage but one you get it set up you can start a production line.

I also done all my crankcase bolts with a home Zinc plating kit.

DS has Red Green and Brown listed, and Yamiya has Brown and green, there doesnt seem to be Black available, I got the colours from the Honda service manual that was downloaded in 4 parts it also has a Yellow shell listed as well as blue, but lists the chart in sizes rather than codes on the case and paint on the shaft, Im sure I read somewhere that they later done away with some of the colours, I think this book is very old as it is for the 350 with a 400 suplement.

Like reducing my collection, in other words getting rid of some scrap to make space.

Im hoping to get my bike finished, when I get home from offshore, if I can sort my main bearings Im about 5 and half Grand out so far, I have the frame and bits powder coated, the sump, oil filter and crankcases powder coated , I've respoked the wheels with stainless rims and spokes, rebuilt the clocks, lots of new bearings and internals in the engine, rechromed headers, and a nearly new looking 1980's Marshal deeptone pipe, the Bike is an F2 but I got it painted the ruby red the same as my original from 1981 ( my thumbnail of me at 17), so roll on home time.

When I get back home I am ready to put my engine back together, I have had difficulty finding the numbers on my crankshaft, I will have another look but I was thinking of measuring the thickness of the old shells to see what colour they are, I will also check the new ones with plastigage, what are the availability of the different shells can they still be got, I got these dimensions from the American site.
Yellow inserts (the thinnest) are 1.490 to 1.486 mm thick
Green inserts are 1.494 to 1.490
Brown inserts are 1.498 to 1.494
Black inserts are 1.502 to 1.496
According to the book there are also Blue and red bearings does anyone have these sizes.

Im not that desperate that I would pay that money, but I think it would finish it off nice, I would just paint it satin black and drill and tap the sprocket, I have some nice stainless dome head allen bolts that would finish it , so if anyone has one for sale im not that bothered about it being the exact one.
