...after 2+ yrs I'm still looking for UK Spec 750K2 handlebars. DSS part on it now - holes in wrong place, bars canted & look all wrong. Guess it's a problem due a relatively small market (ie UK part #). Won't waste more money on repro 'bars.
Is this the problem that the grip is 20mm from the switch ?
If so, I was told that it was a design feature so that the extra High/ low switch would fit on the left side of the main switch. I have had these wrong UK repro bars from USA, Germany, Canada and Holland. Funny thing is the new repro 400 bars have the same problem but, do not need the extra High/Low switch.

Got some 750K2 nice bars as a spare with my K0 .. Now I know why they got snapped up on eBay for 25 quid. Didn't realize they are so rare.

Yep, there is a gap between the grip & switch, though an annoying 5mm and not enough for the hi-low switch thing. (which would push the main switch / mirror out too far I'd have though if inserted there?) But bottom line the drillings are just misplaced meaning the switch locating lugs mean the bars have to be canted too far forward - looks odd let alone that the clutch / brake levers are a reach down as well as out! As I say, don't trust the pattern bars now, unsure what to do.. American OEM bars?

But... have you tried to find the 4 weeny black plastic caps that fit over the car air screws? Good luck with that one!

(PS, I did, tracked down a set at bloody £2 each)

You seem to have a smaller gap than me.
Really?😀

The part I looked for the longest for my 400 (about 2 years ) but I had to just have it!....was the petrol pipe protector its just a coil of wire, but I wanted one. I ended up buying a group of parts from eBay USA for about $15 and $10 postage. I made my money back selling the other bits over here, I'm not a rivet counter or anything, it was just a challenge as it gets lost from 400's,how many 400's on here still have it attached?

...funny old thing Dave I found that easily... Wemoto as I remember. Granted, maybe not OEM but certainly perfect enough.
But... have you tried to find the 4 weeny black plastic caps that fit over the car air screws? Good luck with that one!

I looked for that specific part as a challenge just to see if I could get it, my carbs had the plastic caps on the screws I'm glad I never needed to track those down! I reckon you did well finding those. I still have a couple of parts I'd like to find but its not the end of the world if they don't turn up.
Cheers...Dave

That part looks close but no cigar......I only wanted 400/4 specific parts.
Cheers.......Dave

I have some old OEM ones, one is longer and has a bigger dia but, I have a smaller one that came from my old 400. It is a bit tarnished and you are welcome to it ;)

Thanks for the kind offer but I have the part now, my bike has a few non Honda parts fitted but I consider those to be upgrades on the original spec. The pipe protector had too be had 8)

My crankshaft needed 10 new main bearings (part no. 13315-333-003 (size Black)). After scouring various sites and suppliers to find lots of 'discontinued' (adding "you'll be lucky") messages, one kind soul on this forum found 9 for me. The final one came from Holland.
If I believe my own luck/PR, my engine is now running with the last ever original (black) bearings to be fitted!
Cheers, D.

The original type 400/4 kickstart lever. I'm using one from a different model, cb250 I think.
Yeah this one is a crazy hard find. Mine was damaged when I bought mine and I fit a cb350 one years back, but recently my kickstart spindle needed replacing so I looked again. http://www.cmsnl.com/ had literally ONE in stock and I'm not proud of the price I paid for it. But I do have one now. Was one of the last suppliers in Europe or North America I found with one :O

Spare ball n socket (Rose) joints with their nylon cups would be nice.
