OEM Tank / Sidepanels - how do I verify?

(1/3) > >>

Lobo:
Hi all,

The side panels on my 'new' 400F are obviously repros, but the tank... unsure. Can anyone tell me how to positively confirm these parts as OEM or otherwise?

You've guessed it, new to the CB400F....

Cheers,
Lobo

Bryanj:
Don't think there is any definitive way

tom400f:
Don't know but mine is dry and off the bike at the moment. Post pics if you want me to compare (mine's a 78 F2)

Lobo:
Thanks guys. I assume from this no part numbers etc stamped into the underside - my tank is not nearby but I have had a thorough look all about it (inc underside) & nothing at all in respect of markings. Cap / lock all a great fit - have no reason to suspect the tank apart from the matching side panels seem a bit too...er...light.
Tom, out of interest, just forward of the aft-most horizontal 'flange' (that the seat rubber mount captures) my tank has a small downwards vertical flap, pressed out of this whole bracket. Does this tie in with your OEM tank please? (sorry, bike in a lock-up 40 miles away - ie no pics)
Cheers,
Lobo
(On the subject what defines the OEM Sidepanels? I'm guessing mine not OEM, as appear to be light polycarbonate mouldings.) Originals made from....?

Bryanj:
Tanks supplied as spares did not always come with the preserve nature sticker and rarely with the cap, never with the tap
