Ok stripped bike frame down to last nut n bolt,engine out. Swinging arm is split on left hand side.before I try to source original (feel free to offer 1 if available) will an alternative fit off different model? Thanks Paul
-
Is it a F1 or F2 frame?
-
Frame no. Cb400f 1087284. V5 1.10.77 has comstars not spoked
-
Still confused by those numbers, should have CB400F2 ........at that date of reg. Dies it have the rear foot pegs on the swing arm or the frame?
-
No f1 or f2 however pegs on frame so must be f2??
-
Yes, would be F2 then. Is there any way you could get it welded?. I think only a CB400 swing arm fits these bikes, unless someone on here knows different.
-
Not sure M.O.T. man would accept a repair to a swingarm.
-
Good point Hairy, the voice of experience and common sense there ;D
-
Might be worth seeing if DK have one, they break loads of imports, even if its an F1 part, you can grind the footrest brackets off before painting/coating.
-
Bad split a lot of rust would post photos but cannot get them to resize small enough Tks for such quick response looks like California searching?.
-
Will try DS as suggested
-
No, D.K. Spares, DS is David Silver Spares, his stuff is new.

Thanks hairy different Honda 400 but at that price it’s worth a punt so bought it cheers
-
You don't hang around ;D
I'm sure it won't fit a CB400/4 though, it looks a different shape and the ends of the swing arm are 'open' on our bikes where the chain adjusters mount. Also, where the bolt and collar go through is one solid tube on the CB and not just 2 small round collars.
-
I can get a spacer made for long bolt at work will keep looking for original though

If your original swing arm isn't too far gone, could you not get that repaired at work? ( I know it's not the optimum solution Hairy but at least it fits the bike !!!)
-
As an ex MOT man a properly repaired swing arm is OK
-
Steve Cooper at http://www.400fourbits.co.uk/ has two swing arms although both are early type with footrest brackets but these can be ground off prior to paint. The second swing arm has been freshly powder coated so maybe not a good idea.
I don't know how much he's asking for either.
-
Just picked this up ...beeen out all day ... I have one from a really low miler but can't remember for sure if it's off an F1 or F2 as it's at my stash ..would sell for same price as the eBay one. Definitely off a 400/4 though.

Hi Laverda I will find out many thanks.
Re repair of own arm=no chance
Happy to keep looking
