It must have been around 1979, so that's 38 years ago, that I first rode a 400/4 (my younger brother's).
Took me until 2014 to get my own though!
He also has a [much modified] one on the road and another more original one awaiting rebuild, plus several other bikes in various states.
Oh, and I don't know where the picture of your 400/4 is/was, I can't seem to see it.

What's with the throttle cables, they look to have a bit of excess length in them!

Now time to get rid of that tax disc. They always looked ugly, even in the correct position.... unless of course it's structural!😉

Great forum for technical advice, etc.

Cheers, D.
