400 4

[markburstow]

I wonder can anyone help me identify this bike that I am thinking of  - year, model etc.

This will be my first bike restore - I have done some amateur car restores in the past.

See attached my latest - a 1972 Mini that was all done in my back yard.

Can anyone notice anything else about that 400 4 that I might have missed - I originally posted this on the .net site and many thanks to those who responded there!!

Are those the wrong wheels?

Many many thanks

The cast wheels shown in the picture are made by ARE I think.A friend used to have some on his KH250.The seat is a 2:4 unit.The standard unit looked like this...



The frame suggests the late F1/F2 due to the footrests being mounted onto the frame rather than on the swingarm as on the early F1 models.


The standard F2 tank was pinstriped.



As the price says c.1976

Try going to www.photobucket.com and type in Honda 400 and have a llok see at what other people have posted.I found that if you type in 400/4 you miss out on how other people have posted their 400s.

Hi All,

The bike really wasn't all it seemed - I have, however, secured the attached for restoration - wrong wheels and a few other things but an ideal base for my winter restoration.

Thanks for all your help on and offline!!
