We all like photos so here's a few of my new 400 four. 10,000 miles from new with one previous owner
The ace bars were apparently put on from new ...?
I kinda like it as is its all very original and the more I look the more it seems untouched? But I am no expert ...I'll get some more close ups soon....
The exhaust had a hole in it at the bottom of the collector. I welded it up for now it will never be seen .....do,they all go here ...i could just about get my 3 fingers in the hole. Is it worth putting a small 4mm ish drain hole under there to let the nasty build up out?
Currently trying to get the brake calliper arm pivot out.....after the best part of 20 years stood up
And what about that back box....very practical???
bike-pusher:
Quite an early one and a good base to start as it seems all there and unmolested.
That collector box won't last - sorry. Once they get to that stage they're not long for this world. The rack is a very useful (and hard to find) addition, but that box is fugly in the extreme.
As for the pivot pin - lots and lots of heat, and then you should be able to knock it out. I haven't found one yet that is immune to Assault By Blowlamp.
Woodside:
Agree the collector box is screwed ..but I figure it will buy me some time..I will keep a look out for another one ..the rest of the pipes are sound...
Pivot pin is in for an assault soon ....I forgot how stubborn they can be...
The best thing about the top box. Other than its removable ..was that the original tool box holder complete with tools were stored in there...
I even have one of those real expensive cable retaining clips that brought you into this sohc site
Woodside:
I love looking at the pics on other threads so here's some more...
I might look at putting some standard bars back on but I'm sure ill need some more parts ..fork ears etc? As the light has been extended into the fairing
Any one got anything useful kicking around?

Oil looking good :P
Can't tell if you have the clutch cable guide and whether the engine passes the "Simon" test of ever having been apart before.
