OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.
Johnny4428:
That’s nearly looking ready to fire up Ted! Looking good!
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not fully connected up the wiring loom as yet, tappets to adjust, engine mounting bolts to torque up plus front wheel & headlight to fix plus seat & tank - it's getting closer every day.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
New pattern gear lever arrived today -circlip has no spring left so I will need to replace it.
I got my front wheel back from Croft Engineering - The hub thread needed cleaning before I could fit the new lock ring as the first thread where it was peened over was very tight. I did not have a suitable thread file for internal threads - they made a special boss to clean it out - as it was a one off they gave me the part they had made to do the job so I have it for future use if needed.
When the front wheel is in place I will post a picture.

Sesman:
I would swear that rose joint on the gear shift shaft should be on the outside?

I've looked at my old photo before dismantling - it was like I've re-fitted it the same way - I suspect you could be right though looking at the parts manual?
Update: That might explain why the link bar looks a tad too angular - presumably when it's fitted the other way round the link bar will be straight!
