Are they Showa or FVQ rear shocks Ash, I've tried to zoom in on the photo but the sticker is too far gone. Maybe Piki can make some if he has a phot to use? I'd like to get a set made for my genuine 400/4, there are no stickers on my rear shocks.

Piki definitely does the SHOWA stickers.

All 400/4's i have had through the work shop had flange nut rear spindles and all 350/4's have round head rear spindle. Not sure if they started off with the round head from the 350/4's and then went on to the nut type.

Mine is a pretty early model Graham and deffo had the round BZP type originally. Also early UK model CB400F's had a different mudguard as they still had the front number plate fitted and were actually a -369- CB250G5 part with a different shape cable guide also. I didn't know about the different shape cable guide until ChrisR told me about it.

The mudguards were just parts to Honda. Though in the UK we scraped front plates in 1973 they would of fitted them as it was on the assembly line. I have seen UK CB750K2 with front plates right up to 1975 ;)

Spot on Trig, time to unearth a tear jerking memory!! Purchased in late '74, front plates removed and screwed to garage wall late '75. Bike was sold in '77 complete with number plate as the collection fad had not really taken off then. Ho hum. (Plate is now worn by a 500 Mercedes!)
