One would think the brochure (UK) would have a correct pic but probably it was a pic taken well before it before the 400 actually hit the market. The brochure would have been available well before the bike appeared at any dealer. So maybe they changed the plug caps in production OR, maybe they just decided the black caps looked better for the photo shoot! ;) Interesting stuff, in any case.

The original Honda Press Bike JGC 606N (still around today) was an import from another market(large indicators etc) and would not have had the metal clad caps when imported.
I think there was a stink when the Kwak H1 500 came out because the triple CDi unit derived HT caused a lot of interference on TV sets.
German models also had the metal clad caps and possibly other Euro countries.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Opel introduced the Metal clad plug caps in around 1972/3 I can't remeber if they were Bosch or AC Delco on the Rekord models - they seemed to fail regularly back then.
