400F1 headlamp
Bodd:
I know all about the tricky switch gear and all the wires in the headlamp shell, I totally stripped the bike, mind you compared to the RD I restored the headlamp on the 400/4 is like Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Anyhow I managed to get the headlamp working, it was the blue wire, I didn't think it was the connectors because I had changed a lot of them when I refurbished the loom and added a fusebox which a previous owner had bypassed.

Great.. sorted, and all looking shiny & new.
Bodd:
Thanks for the help, I will be able to sleep tonight :D
Dan:
Glad you got that sorted.
A lot of my time was spent sorting the electrical system on my bike - connectors were not corroded but just dirty and had high resistance and so were getting hot, enough so that you could smell burning. I used contact cleaner and crocus paper on the worst areas.

Hi Bodd,
SO impressed by your RD250 'Window dressing'... want one too, but to date, the most I've been allowed get away with is a nice framed print of my bikes in the living room..
Anyways, just read your '400 Cafe racer blog... fantastic. Pi**ed off though 'coz I've recently sent hubs off for polishing.. your blog has inspired me to get busy and rather have a go myself. (in future)
Cheers,
Simon.
PS... lived 6 yrs in Lytham St Anne's, & another 6 in Chorley.... where I think it rained everyday.. Where abouts in Lancs are you?
