Going by the description from both sites, it looks like the same item. Bit of a leading question, but can you recommend it?

Has anyone fitted Wemoto pattern exhaust?
I am thinking about changing from the Motad already fiited and would like to know if it a case of bolt off/ bolt on or are there other things to be considered?

I've fitted one of those phenolic pistons about 5 months ago and everything seems fine.

Can anyone recommend a disc lock that will fit on the standard front disc?
Cheers

Problem solved.
It seems that the bearings might have been worn and maybe caused damage to the cam lifter.
Replacing the old thrust washer with one of a known correct size, and also fitting a new cam lifter/bearings has done the job.

It seems as though the clutch lifter cam and release shaft aren't moving back enough to fully disengage the clutch.
I would like to avoid getting replacement ones if it can be avoided and I'm not sure if the existing bearings are the right size.
Could any one tell what size the 3 bearings should be, and what thickness the thrust washer( Honda Ref. 90455 333 010) should be?
Cheers

I'm having problems with my clutch and the guy at the garage is getting frustrated...
The problem is that the bike is trying to "set off" with the clutch lever engaged. By adjusting the cable, this can be avoided but at the expense of the the clutch slipping under any sort of stress.
I've had new friction plates and springs fitted, but this hasn't cured the problem. Can anybody any ideas I can suggest to the garage?

Thank you for your replies - never thought of looking at the other ebay sites!

Hi, after 9 months finally got a '77 Varnish Blue which has been off the road for a few years.
This is my first bike for many years and the challenge is to get it up and running again.
At the present, my bike is at the local garage having the carbs balanced but I have only just realised that it is missing the air cleaner lid.
I'm having problems getting hold of one of these and would like to know is there any compatability with any other models which might be easier to get hold of?

Thanks for all the advice everyone. You may find a 500 or 550 cheaper to buy and get parts
Unfortunately, it's got to be the 400!

I seem to have got off on the wrong foot with some members. Perhaps I can just explain my background.
My biking took place in the late

Sorry if I've upset anyone with my questions...It's just that I'm really nervous about taking the plunge and don't want to end up with a pile of worthless junk.
Again, apologises for any offence...
