CB400 Horseshoe clip / tensioner arm seats question ?

(1/2) > >>

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The parts list shows item 50  part 14501-323-000 Clip DS £9.48 each.
Mine look okay but is it something that must be replaced due to age - pricey for what they are?

hairygit:
Just my opinion, but put it to perspective. If the part fails, how expensive would it be to remove and strip the engine, new gaskets, Honda bond, exhaust gaskets etc, plus putting right any damage caused by such a failure. So is that part that expensive really? What price peace of mind? Ultimately your bike, your choice, but could you ever feel confident riding it as the manufacturer designed and intended (high revs) having that nagging doubt in the back of your thoughts?

Perfect answer to burrow into my "what if" brain like an ear worm - I guess I knew the right thing to do  all along!

Hope the're easy  to remove !

I'm sure it will be far easier now than after a catastrophic self destruct on the road!

Ive just bought 2 Ted, Mr silvers had £500 off me this week, I recon the overall cost will be £1000 for my engine build. I suppose that’s what you get when buying bikes that come in a box
 I’ve been pricing a few more bits up today. Generator cover 11632333010 £82.80. The best one has to be the bolt that goes above the cam chain adjuster bolt, no 177, 25911500000 £40. Im going to make 1 tomorrow out of stainless
