My New Project arrives after a 44 year wait!
Oddjob:
Not sure if the 400 is different from the 500/550 but a part I can't see listed is the bracket that the speedo/tacho mount to which then fits onto the top yoke. Plus ignition switch bracket, does it have the switch below the tank like the 500? Edit: no it doesn't, it's on the top yoke.

Arggghh! That is something else missing Ken, the bracket between the Speedo and rev counter! When I got this bike these items were not fitted. I'll have to see if the bracket is hiding in one of the cardboard boxes I got with the bike as I definitely need it! I'm going to Microblast tomorrow to drop the exhaust rings in for Cerakote on my way to Sonning (a birthday treat from my O/H to celebrate my birthday 🎊). I'll have a rummage in the boxes in the morning before my birthday breakfast of kippers on toast😋.
Well spotted Ken👍

Have it done in satin black to match the top yokes and if they are correct the speedo and tacho dishes.

I may have one .. also if you can't get the sprocket ring olive drab passivated I may be able to do the one I am trading with you for the 250RS one.

I found it Ken :D. It was in the cardboard box of items yet to go through the fumigation process! I’ll drop it in later today for powder coating with a satin finish as you suggest (and as it is currently finished). Thanks for being so eagle eyed with my list, Tim take note on your items, there should be 35 and not 34 ::)
Going through the box I have found two idiot light pods so that was a result. I also found what appear to be two NOS rear indicator stalks in sealed Honda bags. They are not 400/4 stalks and have part number 33607-377-670 are they for the 500/550?
Thanks for your offer Ash, the powder coater has matched the colour quite well so I’ll go for a powder coat finish and see how it looks on the guard I have given him.
I attach some photos of the frame when it was on the alignment jig. You can see the frame is 100% spot on, strange as it is the first frame I have ever had checked that isn’t at least .5 deg out (even the featherbed frame I had checked was out but that was over 60 years old at the time so had a right to be a bit bent up I guess!).
