Keiths 400/4
Bryanj:
I think your Superdream confusion is 250 were 31 and single disc whilst 400 was 33 and twin disc
Coppertop1234:
Thought so
just having a debate with a no return on ebay who sent me a 31mm yolk, he said it is of a 400/4 and wants me to explain why they dont fit.
I sent him info on people used the superdream forks on 400's as a replacement and obviously the one he is stripping had had this conversion to 31mm which are not correct spec for bike which i required.
Waiting for further response on return,but buyer protection should cover it as the are not as described.
Coppertop1234:
You couldnt write it
just speaking to a motorcycle shop friend and he is just breaking a 400/4 with a complete front end on it.
aw well you have to grasp the best option at the time , which was italy parts option for me.

Front forks landed and they are just as they should be no pitting well pleased.
stripped and cleaned then fitted them ,then new brake line and pressure switch Stage 1 done for now
Fitted DS replica exhaust No major issues
Removed all the old pvc tape off the harness and replaced with heatproof / waterproof fabric tape - looks a lot tidier
Rewired and yes she fired up exhaust sounds nice, but carbs are well out - job for a bit later.
just tried an old 400 wheel in forks and the axle that was on bike with comstars is too big and speed drive is not compatible either, no surprise there
glad i tried them before i started stripping old wheel back to hub.
A good days progress today, well pleased with results

Just mounted horn and tacho guide only to find horn then didnt work .
after investigation it would seem a previous owner had cut the wires in the switchgear and taped them back together.
Not a great job of doing connections horn switch was araldited in place so in short switch gear needed replacing to do the job right.
The switch gear didnt seem to fit quite right either with a visible gap all way round the joint, so is probably also of a different model.
Cleaned and tidied rear light mount while playing.
Its all part of the fun finding whats right and whats not.
