Wiring Loom routing on CB400F2 & best replacement source.
Nurse Julie:
Yes, on all market models, except the JDM, the speed stay bracket is where the end of the rubber band hooks on to to keep the loom / bundle / birds nest in place. On the JDM models, that is where the speed unit fitted.

Is this "speed unit" some kind of warning device? I see lots of references to the bracket, but not much on the device itself.
I must admit to being a bit skeptical about the notion that the loom "rubber band" is meant to hook on the speed stay bracket, even though that's the way mine came to me. It's a pretty awkward fit; the angle isn't right for either end of the strap:

There's a bottom tab on the frame which seems to be designed to receive the lower end of the strap; I don't have a photo of it but when utilized, the strap lines up much better with its upper tab:

Matt, if you look under where you have the bottom of the rubber band fitted, there is a hoop type lip thing, it's part of the same bracket, that is whete the bottom of the rubber band hooks on to, not where you have it. But, I agree, it's always at a funny angle. The speed stay unit attached to where your strap is in the 1st photo.

I've just finished using insulating tape to secure the bundle of wires in that sock thingy. What I am missing and what is a 'speed unit' stay and the strap to go with it...I have found a 'speed unit' but no strap ....are they obtainable?
Stop press: Found one, purchased.

My previous post's first photo with the really wonky strap angle is where the strap was when I got the bike. The second photo looks more correct, and shows how I have it now - but maybe I'm wrong about the frame lug and I actually do have the strap hooked onto the speed unit bracket in the right spot? I'm away from the bike so I can't confirm or deny...
