Recovered CB750F1 - fixing broken stuff!
Moorey:
Different on the USA ones then. I was just a bit surprised to see a train weight of 426kg which is the weight including trailer. Which we were not allowed to tow in 1976 in the UK, but maybe so in some mainland Europe countries.

I have disassembled the ignition lock on my 400 Four, as I wanted to keep the one key operation. When recommissioning my 400, I found out that the switch part had melted. The mechanical lock part separates from the electronic switch by releasing the plastic tangs. I obviously just needed a new switch part, but be aware there are two types of switch part / barrel parts which are not interchangeable. I have a couple of s/h original parts and a barely used DSS one if they are the same type. Let me know if you want a couple of piccies, I can photograph at the W/E

That would be really good if you could... Thanks v. much...
What I am trying to do (because they butchered the lock cylinder on seat lock & smashed the ignition lock ... how they managed to do that without smashing the idiot light cover - I don't know!), is to rebuild the seat lock with a new lock cylinder and replace the top (mechanical half) of the ignition switch. I have a set of SH locks coming in post, which I'm hoping I can get keys cut for from the key code on seat lock?? alternative is to strip down the lock barrels and match the lock wafers up ... we'll see... but any info/piccies up front for me to study would be really good! :)

This shows the white switch part separated from the barrel. I have two barrels and two white switch parts if they're any use. The white switch parts doesn't fit those barrels. Just postage @ cost. If you want a nearly new DSS switch with two keys, I will want half of the DSS costs plus postage
