Naturally... the UK site is much better!

(Shhh, don't tell the US guys I said so!)

See my previous post...  ;)

Bryanj:
I'm on both and agree

The main reason I'm here!  Any place that tolerates me is a winner in my book...

Lobo:
Happy to be corrected, but 3 pin (ie earthed) flasher relays are electro-mechanical (or ‘thermal’) types, and the 2 pin versions, solid state.
Q - were solid state relays common in the mid 70s; I’d have thought not and that all bikes of that era had the 3 pin flasher relays? Given the latter are very mechanical do-dahs, they do wear out and eventually need replacing... often with modern 2 pin units.

Secondly, why would Honda go to the bother of supplying 2 different relays; there’d have been a $ difference in the two types and surely they’d go the cheaper version?

This all said, I can’t get my head around some 400F differences, eg the near Europe F2s loop footrests, whilst rest-of-the-world retained the swing arm mounted ‘pegs. Also, the RoTW ignition steering lock, whilst Europe retained the unfriendly bottom yolk lock. (both the above represent Frame differences, which I guess, significant)

Other differences - eg tank cap / flap, horn mounting - I get given local safety regs....
