400 Generator Cover Finish

(1/1)

AshimotoK0:
Anyone any ideas on the original finish on the 400F generator cover.

The part is stamped 333 on the inside, which is the 350F part ref. and I know that the 350F one was clear coated. However, I am not convinced that the 400F was the normal silver lacquer and was deffo not just clear coated polished alloy (like the 500/4). Attached is the 377 400 part NOS from DS.

The next image is from the 'Push Miles' F2 auctioned off a while back. However, not convinced that the bike was truly an unmolested original.

My 400  alternator cover was definitely not painted or highly polished.

Those cases have been touched up. Hondas paint job on the badge is far superior to that finish.

On my 1977 F2 the cover was finished in silver enamel, same as upper crankcase.
