Honda-SOHC

Welcome here, I hope you soon untangle your problems too! 

Many London cyclists seem to have something like this already. Yet last year my GF got banned from driving for six months after being caught using her phone while stationary in traffic. OK, she had a fair few points already.
But my point is the cyclists in London seem to be immune from prosecution.

  What if you asked for cigarettes?

That Waterfall 4-1 exhaust, the first as standard on a Japanese four (?)may have been part of it's appeal, it is the mark of the 400/4. More curves than a leopard!  Caused by the old fashioned oil filter that was still external and needed lots of bending of the pipes to clear. Oil filters thereafter started being tucked away inside engines and the waterfall effect never spread elsewhere ( unless I'm to be corrected ) I think the high cost of production had the model killed off after only a few years in favour of much cheaper twins that got rid of many of the classic features of a 400/4.
Where did you go for the 50th anniversary? I went to the Ace café, the picture here is the only one I can find post computer crash, but I met Laverda Dave there too.

Hello Chris, welcome here! 

That ds part is the later version, early version was a big box with a multi pin red connector

My bike is a 1977 build, 1978 registration. F2 

If this is now only starting when the clutch is pulled in I think there is a fault in the starter safety circuit. It is supposed to start if either the clutch is pulled in OR if it is in neutral. If the neutral light is working this means the neutral switch connection is probably good. There is a diode under the L side panel that could be U/s or a poor connection. Check LG/R wire....when it warms up a bit....maybe April.

Hi
Do you mean this? https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/by-part-number/hpart_31700124003

We've not had any Snow at our house this winter.

Feeling left out.🤔

Same here in Londinium, and I bet I want it too stay that way too. If you've been to places like Russia and Finland you'll have seen enough of the stuff anyway.
