1975 400/4 project

So, the issue with being able to remove the key while the ignition is 'on', is down to the key being worn. I got my replacement in the post today and it operates exactly as it should.

So do you think that the key is designed to be “sacrificial†to wear before the lock?
Very forward thinking of the Honda engineers!

Well I dare say the key must still meet some of the criteria originally set for it, but I don't think any Honda engineers would have designed a 43 year lifespan into any part of the bike, let alone the most used / abused part!

So current project status is as follows. Total spend is £2200. Still haven't started the engine, but 90% of the cycle parts are either done or in progress with a clear end in sight. I fitted the controls a couple days ago so the amount of 'brrmmm brrrmmm' noises from the garage have increased somewhat. 8)
