DS asking US to sell our 400/4's?
the-chauffeur:
Got the same asking about my 750 K2 - together with a request for a set of handlebars. They want to copy the 'bars and make their own/re-manufacture . . .
Looks like DS is going back to his roots; I've seen a couple of old articles in which he said he was dealing in complete bikes - imports mainly as far as I can recall - as well as spares. I would guess that he's looking for more creative ways to increase revenue following the loss of post-2002 business after the court case (see the Misc/Open section).
They've also been flogging off job lots of NOS parts on eBay recently . . .

Just had an email from DS, a follow on the recent request 'sell me your 400f. Apparently he's bought 40, yes folks forty! My first thoughts were must be a typo. We all know restoring one is a challenge but 40. phew! He's now asking for parts that can be restored or new. The rational behind this is difficult to comprehend but I suppose the plan is sell them once restored, most of us know they are a money pit so I can't see a profit there. I sent an email concerning restoration of the instruments but could I cope with 40 pairs, that would take me a year!
Spitfire:
Very strange, though I have not heard a peep and I bought enough parts from them for the F1 and F2 to be a major shareholder !

Would agree with spitfire, I have purchased many parts for my CB750 K4...no emails from DS? I know this is very obvious to many hobby/restorers like ourselves, but where is the profit to be made? Are the Americans buying British 400/4s???

I follow them on Twitter. Very quiet to start with but now they are starting to hit their stride...

Coming next month, brake hoses for CB400-750, exact copies but much cheaper than O/E.
