Not special as such, just OEM CB400/4
Bryanj:
I have seen both single lip(one spring) and double lip (2 springs as described here) supplied by Honda under the same number. Both will work to stop oil leaks as it is the lower one that is supposed to keep the oil in, the top one stops secret additive (SH!T) getting to the lower lip (in theory) so the seal should last longer
JamesH:
Well that sorted that one out. Well done Julie...didn't sport the writing on the seal but obviously that should site outward so good job you had them the right way in...
K2-K6:
It maybe linked to the old type ordinarily being used with fork gaitors, does the 350 have fork gaitors?
My 1984 Honda uses the seals in same format as Julie's, they also then have a further dust seal above that fits in the fork tube I suppose in place of the 400/4 covers that go outside the casting.
I was just looking at Mr Silver's emporium as mine are leaking so I've a similar job to do.
Nurse Julie:
Well, at least I didn't have to strip them down and start again. But, if I had of got the seals in the wrong way, I would have been quite pissed off with myself more than anything, as I used up a lot of mental energy concentrating on getting them right ;D ;D ;D ;D
