CB400F Ressurection - Cam Chain Adjuster Housing Damaged

SeanFD:
I hear what you say.

Does anyone have any experience of these from Legend Motorcycles?

Another question. The mudguards – apart from the holes in the rear – and the chain guard clean up to an acceptable, for now, level. I’ve got most of the surface rust off using vinegar and a scotch pad.

If I could stop the flash rust turning them brown within 30 mins, I’d be content to use them. A coat of WD40 works to a point, but would obviously wash off. Anyone know of anything a bit more permanent?

Incidentally, I contacted IKON Suspension in USA – I got a great service from them when replacing my 750 suspension – and Nils there told me that spares for the 76 series Konis, predecessor to the 1076,  are not available. So it seems I need new shocks; the bump stop disintegrated completely when I was dismantling it.  :(

Has no-one any ideas on how to stop flash rusting on what’s left of the chrome on my mud and chain guards?

Wipe the chrome over with an oily rag.

ACF50 ?

Not sure if my solution helps-but it was cheap and has worked:
A right mess of camshaft tensioner thread on outer casing.
So I tapped a new thread M8 dropped a ball bearing in crewed in bolt with lock nut-So now it’s more a manual adjustment but worked fine.
Hope this idea helps-you have nothing to lose trying it before you spend hundreds/new cases.
