Pillion foot pegs
Lobo:
Yup, the loop footrests are peculiar to the European market, .... USA, Oz etc all stuck with the swing arm footrests as an international parts manual will indicate.
This must have been added expense / tooling for Honda, you gotta ask why?
I've a late 77 F2 American origin model... with swing arm footrests. (but would prefer the loops!)

Your 400 is a confusing unit, not a UK bike and with paper work that states it is under 400cc, makes the engine look like a Jap unit ;)

I am building a JDM CB250 '69 Dream and I have found a club in Japan that sells members paper photocopies of Japanese Honda manuals (not .PDF!).
My man in Japan is getting me copies of the JDM CB250 and JDM CD250 (Type 2 360 degree crank,rotary gear change) relevant parts manuals 'lcos some Dutch T**t on another forum has the manuals but says he's too busy to look me up any part numbers.
If anyone is interested in the manual for the 400F specific to the JD market then I can get that too. will be in Japanese of course but the exploded diagrams and part numbers are enough for me. think manuals copies work out at about 8 quid each but only available to Japanese club members from what I can gather.

Thanks for the info' guys. Looks like I'm stuck with it unless I can find someone to bend tube to the required radius, I can make up the mountings but bending tube accurately needs the proper kit.
Chris400F:
I suppose another alternative would be if you could find someone with a scrap later model frame and get the loops from that.
I don't know if Steve at 400fourbits (http://www.400fourbits.co.uk/) may be able to help - could be worth a shot.
Failing that maybe a breaker.
