Keiths 400/4
Coppertop1234:
i usually do my own with rattle cans and it always comes out really well - not to put spec on it
Last time on the 750F1 i used BMW candy red which was so close you couldnt tell the difference
Coppertop1234:
Bits are starting to land :) :)
New Caliper & pressure switch for brake line landed
DS stuff dispatched that was quick
Forks arriving later today
So time to start tinkering
all the old forks calipers exhaust etc will be going on ebay unless anyone here is interested
Coppertop1234:
Well that didnt go to plan
Old forks are 31mm were on bike
New Forks 33mm (bottoms fine legs pitted)
Yolk 31mm so presume this is also of a superdream - but obviously dont fit
New forks are identified for a 400/4 from seller and manual says 33mm so guess these are right bottoms for bike
old forks legs are also longer than new ones
I only wanted to change fork bottoms but - plan B
Use new fork bottoms 33mm - got these
get 2 new fork legs 33mm - available on ebay
get new top and bottom yolk 33mm and bearings to suit - (hahahaha cant seem to find these)
or open to other models/ options that would take standard stock fittings brakes mudguard etc
even though of a frame with decent front end on it as an option
Bryanj:
Just checked on cms and lower G5 yoke is same but top is different
Coppertop1234:
Just found a bottom and top yoke they say for 400/4 f 1977
we will see when they land.
Time to strip top end down clean and refurb ready to rebuild all being well.
ordered new head bearings in anticipation of correct fit.
