OK ODDJOB, i'll try that. I assume I can purchase a new tube easily?

hairygit:
Yep, Dave Silver Spares has genuine ones listed  https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB400F-SUPER-SPORT-FOUR/part_3388/   More than 20 in stock.

I thought that as well, he has it listed as a genuine part, maybe it's been upgrade by Honda, or they happen to know it's from a different bike and sell it as a 400/4 part as well. Often Honda changed the design of parts without changing the part number. Come to think of it, I ordered one for a CB175 back in the late 90's and argued with the store man that the original was hollow and the new one was solid, he said that's what Honda supplied for the part number on the fiche.

Jesus I think I'm becoming an anorak as I noticed that too. Must be 35 years since I removed one! Brain must not be as crumbly as I (and others) thought.

I as well had that problem with mine and I have had it with previous bikes with the tube type pins. The problem is when they corrode if you try and drift them out they start to miss form and collapse, I used the saw method but I had a cengar saw with a hacksaw blade on some you have to grind a bit off the blade but not the Honda . The solid type pin is a sensible upgrade as it can be drifted out easy but that shouldn't happen with the type of easy life these bikes are getting now compared to the all year use when they were new.  Make sure to clean the inside of the stand tube with emery or scotchbrite and the pin is a smooth fit and remember to grease it.
